Were we so tired last night? We both fell asleep in each other's arms, which was nice, but we just fell out. I didn't think we were that tired but this was the first time we'd really relaxed in some time. There was nothing scheduled in the near future. There were no deadlines.

"I'll get it."
"I'll wait."
Her eyes widen and she goes and gets her plate as well...after cooking her eggs. I was not going to sit and eat without her after she cooked everything. This was something I was going to keep in mind always. She wasn't a waitress or cook, she was my...going to be...someday would be...had to be...
"Henry?"
"Huh?"
"You alright?"
"Yeah," I said quickly. "yeah, just..." She sits down next to me, frowning and watching me. "waiting on you, babe." I look down. "Hold it!"
