Angela groaned at the severe pain in her head, the pounding at her temples. She raised heavy eyelids. Bright lights pierced like a blade through her forehead. Damn, she should have stopped after that first bottle of wine. She lifted a shaky hand to shield her eyes as memories of the night before came into focus.

She rubbed her right temple as a marching band drummed in her head. Aspirin. She needed aspirin . . . and coffee. Lots and lots of coffee. The steady beat took on a more insistent rhythm, until it dawned on her someone was knocking. She managed to roll out of bed, grab her robe, and make her way to the front door.

“Ms. Beebe, are you awake?” The sound of one of the guard’s voices wiped the remaining fog from her brain.

She shoved her tangled hair from her face and cracked open the door to peer out. “Yes. I’m awake. What is it?”

Pete, the older of the two guards, met her gaze with an amused grin. “Jake called. Told us you might be needing this.” He shoved a tall Styrofoam cup toward her. “I ran to the coffee shop down the street and picked up a cappuccino. I hope you like ‘em.”

Angela squealed with delight and opened the door wide, reaching for the coffee. “Will you marry me?” she exclaimed.

Both of the guards chuckled as she lifted the cup to her mouth and took a reverent sip. Just the smell was making her headache better.

“Well,” Pete said, on a teasing note, “Jake gets the credit, I’m afraid. You might need to ask him that question.” He handed her a generic packet of pain relievers. “He also thought you might need these.”

Heat rose to her cheeks at Pete’s smirk.

“Well, umm, thank you,” she said softly and closed the door. The sound of their quiet laughter lingered in the air after it clicked shut. She washed down two pain relievers with the coffee and then headed into the bathroom to brush the cotton taste from her mouth.
