A bright new day

"Good morning, Ash," Ravi said as he entered the living room. His face was aglow and all that remained was for him to skip down the stairs.

"You are chirpy this early morning." Malik said as he raised the mug of coffee to his lips, "Your boyfriend makes good coffee."

"Good morning, Ravi." Asher greeted, smiling as Ravi kissed his head before he rushed back to the television.

"Hey! Ravi." Sage did not even bother to turn, his entire focus on the screen in front of him. There seemed to be some kind of action animation that was playing.

Yesterday had been so beautiful and the memory made Ravi smile even more. They had moved from the painting studio to a hot pond in Orwick and then back to Ravi's bedroom.

This morning, he had felt Arlen kissing his forehead before he headed for work. They were still processing the serial killer and he knew that Arlen's absence had been felt yesterday and the ABI still needed him in the prosecution of Lisa's Ex.
