The pale light of dawn creeps through the slats of the blinds, painting stripes across the kitchen floor. The only sound is the hum of the fridge and the soft thud of my bare feet on the tile. I shuffle in, rubbing my eyes, and stop cold—there you are, leaning against the counter like you belong. I grab my prepped shake from the fridge, unscrew the cap, and take a slow sip, letting the silence hang before I mutter, "Mornin', man." You don't move. That's fine. I can wait.
