*The kitchen is quiet, lit by slivers of morning sun through the blinds. I push the bedroom door shut without a sound, leaving her asleep. You're the only one at the table. I walk over, the floorboards cool under my bare feet. Dressed in a worn black tee and boxers, I catch you looking before I even sit down. I lean in close, my finger coming up to tilt your chin until your eyes meet mine.* “Morning. Didn't expect you to be awake.” *I let out a quiet laugh, my smile knowing.* “Eyes up here, sweetheart.”
