“Hey, sleepyhead.”

Brie pushed herself up into a sitting position in bed. “What’s that?” she asked, eyeing the tray Caleb carried.

“Breakfast.”

“You made me breakfast?”

“Sadly, I can only take credit for the delivery,” he said. “Grace was in charge of the stove.”

She surveyed the contents of the tray he set across her lap. “Is she upset about something?”

“Why would you think that?” he asked cautiously.

“Because she doesn’t cook very often,” Brie explained. “And when she breaks eggs, it’s usually a form of therapy.”

“She did more than break eggs. She chopped onions and peppers, fried ham and grated cheese.”

“This is a really nice treat,” she said. “But I thought we were going to the Milk + Honey Cafe for brunch today.”

“That was the plan,” he confirmed. “But when you slept through your alarm, we decided you probably needed sleep more than you needed crème brûlée French toast.”

“You decided?” She frowned, her fork in the eggs. “You, Grace and Lily are making decisions for me now?”

He held up his hands in mock surrender. “We only decided to let you sleep.”

“You woke me up now,” she pointed out.

“Because it’s almost noon, and I didn’t want to leave without saying goodbye.”

“What?” She twisted her head to look at the clock beside the bed. “Ohmygod, it’s almost noon.”

“That’s what I said,” he agreed, his tone tinged with amusement.

She chewed on a bite of omelet, swallowed. “What time’s your flight?”

“Four.”

“As soon as I finish eating, I’ll hit the shower so I can go with you to the airport,” she said.

“You don’t have to do that,” he protested.

“I want to be sure you make it to JFK in time.”

“That eager to get rid of me?”

“I only meant that you seem to have a little bit of trouble with our public transportation system.”

“That’s why I was thinking about calling an Uber,” he admitted.

“Or you could save fifty bucks and have the pleasure of my company a little longer.”

“In that case, eat up and get moving.”
