In that cozy, serene moment, Lysander couldn't help but smile.

No matter how frigid the world outside, or how brutal the cutthroat business battles, coming home to a warm soul waiting for you and a house filled with warmth could calm any storm raging within, bringing peace and comfort to the heart.

In that instant, Lysander truly grasped the essence of love.

Love was having a pillar in your heart, a reliance, through which storms could be faced with calm, and problems tackled with composure.

Even if the world was a tempest, with you, I was always blessed.

Lysander gazed at Thalassa, his heart tender with affection. He reached for the throw blanket nearby and gently draped it over Thalassa, fearing she might catch a chill.

But the moment the blanket touched Thalassa, she startled awake, sitting up instantly in a mix of panic and fear. "I didn't mean to nod off. I'll get to work right now..."

She scrambled to her feet, but after a few steps, something dawned on her. Stopping, she turned back, her eyes meeting Lysander's, and with that, she returned to reality, her smile warm. "Lysander, you're back. I dreamt I was back in the factory, so exhausted I couldn't help falling asleep, only to be caught by the boss. I was terrified, ready to jump up and get back to work. Heh, I haven't worked there in ages, yet I dreamt of those days when we could barely eat or sleep. Silly, right?"

Lysander's gaze, deep and earnest, fell upon her. Seeing her sheepish smile, his heart ached with compassion.
