Amidst the swirling steam from the fondue pot, a wave of warmth washed over Oriana. She found this quiet, simple happiness utterly precious.

A family, sharing meals through the changing seasons.

She truly wished this kind of bliss could last a lifetime.

After the four of them ate their fill, they emerged from the restaurant practically holding their stomachs, too stuffed to consider any more sightseeing, and headed straight back to their lodgings.

Back in their room at the guesthouse, Oriana initially blamed her lightheadedness and drowsiness on a carb crash from overindulgence. Hazy and tired, she stumbled to the footstool by the bed and slumped over it.

Then, she saw it—Micah walking unerringly from the doorway to the bathroom. Moments later, he emerged with a warm towel and began gently wiping her face and hands.

There was a tiny scratch on her hand from their afternoon activities, already healed without a trace. Yet Micah stared at the spot for a long, quiet moment before letting out a soft sigh. His motions grew even more tender, as if afraid of hurting her.

Oriana let him tend to her, lost in a daze, until a sudden realization jolted her. Her slightly unfocused eyes fixed intently on his impossibly handsome profile.

“Micah… you can see?”

In the quiet room, only the sound of their mingled breathing filled the space.

The gentle way he was cradling her hand stilled abruptly.

In a corner of the room Oriana couldn’t see, Micah’s light–brown pupils constricted for a fleeting moment.

But quickly, as if nothing had happened, he resumed his actions, carefully turning her palm over to clean it as meticulously as before, not missing even the spaces between her fingers. He took peculiar pleasure in attending to these small, everyday tasks for her–like a child engrossed in a game of house, yet he was a grown man who never seemed to tire of it.

With practiced ease, Micah spoke softly, “Darling, you’re hallucinating. The mushrooms.

This time, it was Oriana who was struck dumb..

Belated delight dawned on her. She touched her own face, then felt for her pulse. “Really? I’m

having hallucinations? Wow, my pulse is racing! Not waiting for his answer, she chattered on, “Right, of course! If I weren’t hallucinating, how could I possibly see your eyes healed? It must be the mushrooms.”

The next moment, Oriana reached back, her fingers curling lightly around the cuff of Micah’s sleeve. Her earlier cheerfulness faded into a tinge of wistfulness. “If only… if only I could stay in this hallucination forever.”

“Why?” Micah asked.

Oriana blinked. Suddenly, she pushed herself up, bracing her hands on his shoulders. Holding her breath, she leaned in close and pressed a feather–light kiss to his left eyelid.

“I wish your eyes could be healed, Micah,” she whispered.

She paused, then shook her head. “No, that’s not right. Not just your eyes.”

With more effort, she used his arms for support to fully sit up on the footstool. A cascade of soft, haphazard kisses rained down all over his face.

Finally, Oriana rested her head against his shoulder and, through the fabric of his shirt, planted one last kiss over his heart.

“Here… and here… and here… Micah, I want you to be healthy, carefree, for everything to be well for you.”

Her words and actions melted his heart completely.

Micah drew her into his embrace, tilting her chin up to meet his descending lips.

“Alright,” he murmure his voice rough with emotion. “I’ll do my best to make your wishes come true, honey.”

The next morning, Oriana awoke feeling strangely lightheaded.

Fragments of the previous night drifted back–dreamlike, yet some scenes seemed magnified, leaving sharp, vivid impressions. Especially the memory of seeing a glimmer of light in Micah’s eyes, her own flushed reflection clear within them.

Oriana buried her face in her hands, shaking her head vigorously.

Stop!

How was it that other people saw hallucinations when they ate the wrong mushrooms, but she ended up having… that kind of dream?
