CHAPTER NINE

Elise

The next morning came all too quickly. I stirred, feeling the warm sunlight on my cheek. I smiled, burying my face in the pillow that smelled so much like Jason. God, I don’t think I’ve slept that well for years. Then again, no one had made love to me like that in…well ever. I rolled over and found the bed empty, but still warm. He couldn’t have been gone long. I sat up and noticed a small foil wrapped chocolate sitting on the pillow. I grinned, peeling back the red foil and popped in my mouth. That boy’s gonna get it, I thought, imagining round two as the chocolate melted on my tongue. I didn’t usually have chocolate for breakfast, but I thought I’d make an exception this once.

“Good morning,” I said, walking into the kitchen to find Annie and pouring a cup of coffee. I set my bird book down on the table and grabbed a cup. “You seem chipper.” She took a sip of her coffee, hiding a grin. “I can’t imagine why.” She poured me a steaming cup of coffee, and I snatched a blueberry muffin from a basket in the middle of the table. It smelled divine.

I laughed. “We both know how thin the walls around here are, Annie. Let’s not pretend otherwise.”

The corner of her mouth turned up in a grin. “Oh, thank God! I was dying to ask you.” She pulled up a chair. “Give me all the juicy details. Well… maybe you can spare some, he is my brother afterall.”

I shrugged. “I don’t know if there were are any juicy details, to be honest. It could’ve been a one time thing, for all I know.”

“Nah-uh. I saw the way he looks at you. That is no one time thing. He’s got it bad.”

“You think?”

She nodded.

“Where is he, anyway?”

“You just missed him. He went fishing with Sean. They wanted to catch some trout for lunch. They shouldn’t be long.”

“Really? But if they just left—”

“Trust me, it won’t take them long. They are two of the best fishers in the county.”

I took my coffee and sat down on the couch to pour over the pictures of the birds I’d seen yesterday. After the last sip was gone, I washed my cup and told Annie I was going to take a bath. From the side of the bathtub, I let the warm water wash over my fingers as I stared out the window. Jason really did have a beautiful piece of land. The window looked out onto the back half of the property. A long field stretched out to meet the river. Imagine having a view like this every morning? Better than the trumpet playing gentleman in the apartment next to mine, that’s for sure. I couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to live here and wake up every day surrounded by the beauty of nature.

Just then, a magnificent great blue heron soared down towards the river, disappearing into a group of trees that hid the river completely.
