Chapter 37: Exploration

My first day off from work after moving in with Xander was a surprise.

I was finding that Charlie and Xander both loved to surprise me. Charlie did it with simple things like wildflowers picked from work. Xander went a more elaborate path.

I woke up with breakfast in bed. Xander looked comical as he pushed open the bedroom door, where he had left me under twisted sheets from another night of passion. He nearly tilted the tray completely over as he tried to close the door with his hip.

Sitting up, I pulled the sheets up and wrapped them under my arms. “What do we have here?”

“Breakfast.”

“I see that,” I laughed.

“Stop laughing, or you won’t eat. I’ll eat it all.” He gave me a glare before setting the tray across my lap.

My eyes widened at the large breakfast set before me: pancakes, sausage, scrambled eggs, and fresh fruit. Orange juice and coffee finished it off.

“I can’t eat all this,” I protested.
