987 The cost of freedom (2)

Tuesday...

The next morning, Benjamin woke up with a big smile on his face.

Penny was right next to him, sleeping peacefully… it's a dream which came true. He wanted to hug her and hold her close to him, but he didn't want to wake her up. It's early, and she can sleep late.

He kissed Penny gently on her bare shoulder and scooted carefully from the bed. She can sleep, but he needs to get ready for work.

"Why are you awake?", Benjamin asked Penny when he got out the bathroom while buttoning up his shirt. "You can sleep as long as you want."

"Mmm… I can sleep when you leave.", she smiled happily while getting off the bed.

"I don't want to miss this." She kissed him and ruffled his damp hair from the shower.

Benjamin laughed. Oh, it's a good morning with Penny by his side.

It is difficult to go to work when such a wonderful woman full of smiles is waiting for him at home.
