Chapter 29

Adison

Something wasn’t right.

Adison blinked her eyes open, trying to figure out what it was. Once she did, panic filled her.

Taffy always woke her up. Sometimes by kneading her face, sometimes by meowing loudly, sometimes by knocking things over in the kitchen. This was a cat who loved breakfast and began demanding it as soon as the sun crested the horizon.

But this morning she wasn’t.

“Taffy?” Adison sat up, wondering where the doorway leading from her bedroom was.

Then she caught sight of her Christmas tree and realized she’d fallen asleep in the living room. After dinner, she and Ken had put a movie on. Apparently, she’d been exhausted. She didn’t even remember falling asleep.

She took a breath, about to call for Taffy, then stopped. Ken was laying on the L-section couch as well, Taffy curled up in the crook of his arm. Adison put a hand to her racing heart and smiled as it calmed down.

Ken was fast asleep, his chest rhythmically rising and falling. Adison sat there for a moment, admiring the angles of his face.

Carefully, so as not to wake man or cat, she threw off the blanket Ken must have covered her with and tiptoed across the room to grab her phone. She managed to get a few pretty good pics before Ken, probably sensing her attention, woke up.

“Good morning,” he murmured with a lopsided grin. “What are you doing?”

“Photographing the cutest pairing in all of Buffalo.” She turned the phone around to show him and yelped with surprise when he scooped her up and pulled her onto the couch.

“Hey,” she protested, “I was supposed to show you the photos.”

“Were you?” He brushed hair away from her neck so that he could kiss it.

She didn’t really mind. The pictures could wait. Snuggling into a pile of cushions and blankets, she rested with her back against Ken’s chest.

“I didn’t know I was falling asleep,” she said.

“You were wide awake one minute and conked out the next.” He squeezed her shoulder.

“I didn’t talk in my sleep, did I?”

“No, but you snored a little.”

“Oh, my God.” She covered her face from embarrassment. “Really?”

“It was adorable.”

The way he said it, she actually believed him.

Taffy meowed at them from the floor.

“What does she want?” Ken asked.

“To be fed.”

“You fed her last night.”

Adison snorted. “You don’t know much about pets, do you?”

“I’m a quick learner. Give me a day to get her routine down.”

“That routine starts now.” Even though she would have liked to spend the day on the couch, Adison stood up and stretched. “I need to feed her before she starts a coup.”

“Let me.”

Next thing she knew, Ken had coaxed her back onto the couch while he stood and went into the kitchen.

“I’ll also be making your breakfast,” he said.

“Ooh.” Resting on her side, she propped her head in her hand and watched him open the pantry door and scoop dry cat food. “I can’t say no. I did walk out on breakfast the other day.”

“Let’s hope that will be the last time that happens.
