Surprise at the Tower

As the dawn broke, the morning dew glistened on the fresh petals of the flowers, dripping onto the lush green grass. In the second-floor bedroom, Damien Sterling's breathing was heavy yet steady. The woman who had been sleeping beside him was already downstairs, preparing breakfast.

Being far from the city, it was uncertain how long it would take to get breakfast if they drove into town. So, she decided to make breakfast herself in the villa. The bread was freshly baked, the coffee brewed to perfection, and a nutritious array of colorful fruits was ready. Just then, the master bedroom door on the second floor opened.

Damien Sterling, fully dressed, descended the stairs. After exchanging morning greetings, they sat at the dining table and began enjoying their delicious breakfast.
