COLIN DRIFTED awake to a room filled with the light of dawn as well as the delicious aroma of bread baking. Even with the woodstove in use, the room still had more of a chill than he’d like. From the looks of the flames, the room would be warm shortly. He was content to wait under the layers of quilts.

Covered to his chin, Colin glanced around the room. He spotted Mason standing at the stove in a loose pair of lounge pants, wool-lined house shoes, and a thermal shirt with the sleeves pushed to his elbows. Colin had to smile at the sight of him humming as he worked at his cooking. Mason glanced up and fixed Colin with a brilliant smile.

“Morning, sleepyhead. How did you rest last night?”

Colin shuffled around until he leaned against the corner of the couch while still managing to stay cocooned in the quilts. He turned back to see Mason staring at him. Colin smiled and adjusted the surrounding blankets. “I slept like a baby, but it was a little chilly when I woke up a few minutes ago. I think it would be to my benefit to stay where I am.”

“I just got the fire built up. It won’t take long before the room is warm. Which works out perfect. I’ll finish our breakfast while we chat.”

Colin shifted around, then winked at him. “That sounds like an excellent idea. I love to sit and watch you work.”

Mason didn’t comment as he fished a mug from the cabinet and poured what smelled to be outstanding fresh-brewed coffee. He picked it up, then looked at Colin. “Black?”

“Yes, please. I’ll sugar it up on the second cup, which I’ll need in a few minutes.”

Mason popped open the box of pastries sitting on the counter and eased them into a cake pan on the back of the stove to warm. Once they warmed, he moved them to a serving tray and drizzled melted butter over the hot rolls.

Colin chuckled, and Mason looked toward him. “What?”

“I was just thinking how many miles I’m going to need on the treadmill to work them off. The gym employees have already decided I’m an over-the-hill guy who is desperate to get back the body he had twenty years ago.”

Mason frowned. “That’s terrible. You should report them.”

The smile never left Colin’s face. “Why? They aren’t far from wrong.”

Mason shook his head as he plated their breakfasts and finished loading the tray with a carafe of coffee. He looked over the platter, then took it in his hands and carried it to the thick wooden table in front of the sofa. He split the meal, then sat down and began eating.

It wasn’t long before Colin picked at the final crumbs. He set his plate on the table, took his mug in his hands, and curled back into the sofa’s corner. “That was delicious and almost put me in a sugar coma.”

He loosened the quilts and let them slide off his bare shoulders. From Mason’s
