The next thing I remembered was hearing the hotel door room open, and Colin speaking to me softly. He’d lowered himself beside the bed and kissed me awake.

“Time to eat,” he said, stroking my face gently.

When I opened my eyes and stared at him, my heart raced, and I felt dizzy. It could have been from low-blood sugar, but it felt like more than that. What we had between us felt special, it felt real. He was so much kinder and gentler than I ever expected, and so doting too. He was a dream man, the type of man you see in romantic movies but don’t believe actually exist.

Of course, I knew that things were so fresh, that I might be blinded by the newness of it all.

Still, in that moment, I felt like I might be falling in love with him. Which was dangerous considering the circumstances.

I sat up in bed, my head spinning a bit. I must have looked unwell, because Colin stood and helped steady me, “Whoa, are you okay?”

“Just need some food,” I said. “It’s fine.”

He nodded and rushed over to the table where a bag from the cafe sat. He brought it over to me, along with an espresso.

“I can get up,” I said. “And go to the table.”

“No need to,” he said, climbing in bed beside me. “Just rest.”

I opened the bag and found several delicious options - regular, flaky croissants, a chocolate croissant, a couple muffins, and some pastries. I couldn’t go overboard. My sugar might be low, but I didn’t want to go to the opposite extreme either, which was easy to do considering the contents of the bag.

“You’re literally an angel,” I said.

“Literally?” he said, laughing.

“Yes, literally a life saver. You have no idea, Colin.”

“I think I might,” he said with a wink. “I am a doctor after all.”

“That’s right. Not sure how I keep forgetting that,.” I said, smiling as I pulled out one of the flaky, buttery croissants. So simple, nothing fancy about it, but I couldn’t go wrong with a croissant in Paris.

Sinking my teeth into it, I closed my eyes and savored the sweetness. Instantly, I felt better.

Colin sipped his espresso, not even reaching for a pastry himself. He watched me, grinning as I devoured the entire croissant like I hadn’t eaten in days. Crumbs fell from my mouth, all over my chest and lap and the bedding, which was a pet peeve of mine. I hated crumbs in bed. I start clearing it off, but Colin stopped me.

“Don’t worry. Housekeeping will change the sheets anyway,” he said. “One of those amazing benefits of staying in a hotel.”

He was right. A girl could get used to it. Spending her time with a gorgeous, doting man. Housekeeping and room service at her beck and call. This was the life. I didn’t always get to travel to such luxurious places and stay in nice hotels. Many times, I stayed in hostels to save money, since most of the time, I was fronting most of the travel costs myself.
