Three hours of tossing and turning, and she was barely asleep when the first crash startled her awake. The second one sent her over the edge of the bed and scurrying to pull on her bathrobe. The third crash propelled her out her bedroom door and straight to the top of the stairs, where she looked down and saw James, dressed in boxer shorts and a T-shirt running for the kitchen. He didn’t look like he’d had much sleep either.

Fallon padded down the stairs, wondering if her bare feet would be safe, considering what she expected to find in the wake of Tyler’s tirade, and fell into step behind James who, she had to admit, looked downright sexy first thing in the morning. Sexy and, right this moment, ready to explode.

“Tyler,” he called on his way through the kitchen door. “What are you doing?”

Fallon, who was so close behind him she could practically smell his aftershave, bumped right into the back of him when he stopped dead in his tracks. She braved a peek around James, expecting the worst, only to see Tyler standing there amid a clutter of pots and pans all over the floor, along with spilled silverware and practically every utensil she’d had in the drawer. But on the counter were three bowls, filled to the top with breakfast cereal and overflowing with milk, which was dripping down into the open, and empty, utensil drawer. Along with the cereal were three slices of bread smeared from crust to crust with strawberry jam…jam that was likewise slathered across a good portion of the counter top. And there were three poured glasses of orange juice, with a fair measure of juice trickling down the front of the cabinet.

It was a spectacular mess to behold, and Tyler was standing in the middle of that mess, grinning from ear to ear—his first real grin. He’d fixed them breakfast.

“It looks delicious,” she said quite brightly as she stepped away from James and pulled a kitchen stool over to the breakfast counter. As delicious as any breakfast could look at three in the morning, given the disheveled condition of her kitchen.

James chuckled. “Looks like the best breakfast I’ve ever had at this time of the day.” He followed Fallon’s cue and pulled up a kitchen stool for himself then one for Tyler. And the three of them sat down together and ate breakfast in the middle of a mess that was going to require about an hour’s worth of cleaning and showers for everybody. “So, why’d you do such a nice thing for us?” James asked, choosing careful words as he picked up the piece of bread that nearly collapsed under the weight of the jam on it.

“Wanted to,” Tyler replied.

“And I, for one, am glad to have another cook in the house,” Fallon chimed in. Where she was sitting, a little stream of juice once flowing in one direction had redirected itself and was fast closing in on her. Rather than cleaning it, she scooted over, which brushed her right into James.
