[ She laughed but it was cut off midway through for a yawn. She looked over at the clock on her nightstand, a little after eight. She could afford to relax a little while longer she supposed. ] I suppose it can wait a while.
[ Taking a day off wasn't her usual or a late day as it was in this case. But the boys weren't here to need breakfast and she could let herself relax some and enjoy the novelty of someone in her bed.
Her mornings were usually a hustle and bustle of activity, get the boys up and ready for school, make lunches for them and whoever else might need them. Get those things squared away and done before heading to the boat for a day's catch. It felt almost a little naughty to be just laying there and indulging, but that might have been what gave her the smile she had when she snuggled back down into place under the covers.
She wasn't tired really, but she took the time to look at him, hair mussed from sleep and face without the worry lines he carried during the day. God, it made him look so much younger. Seeing him like this made it hard to remember who he was under it all and how long he'd been around.
Eventually, she'd need to get up, use the restroom and brush her teeth from the cottonmouth of drinking that she'd woken with. The task for the day was to drink lots of water. She was mildly amazed she didn't have a hangover but assumed the activity of the previous night might have burned through some of the booze and actually helped with that. ]
But we're going to wake up eventually. [ She reminded him. ]
