She starts making small noises and opens her eyes slowly, and there’s no other word for it but cute. She sits up, looking sleepy still but not mad, and reaches for the coffee. Smart girl. Of course I didn’t have to do this. I could be an ungrateful bastard and let her keep me without doing anything for her in return. But no need to say anything but “you’re welcome” as I start undoing my bootlaces.
She asks me have I already had my coffee, and I turn my head to grin at her. “I’m up and talking, aren’t I? Not trying to throttle anyone.” I get my boots and socks off and slide over on the bed to sit beside her. “Did you sleep all right?”
