I WOKE GROGGY, AND blinked to clear sleep from my brain and haze from my eyes. The room was dark except for some ambient emergency lighting out in the hall. Struggling to sit up, I glanced at the wall of windows across the room. Darkness filled the glass. Once again, the sun wasn’t up, but Gale was.

“Morning, Jo,” he said, breathing hard.

I sat up straighter, turning at the waist to find him like the day before on the floor, by my side of the bed, doing crunches.

“What time is it?” I pulled my hair back from my face and secured it with a ponytail elastic I wore around my wrist for just that purpose.

“You don’t want to know.” He grinned. His silver eyes were bright and shiny with predawn adrenaline.

I frowned at him. “How can you be so wide awake and happy this early in the morning?”

“Because I’m with you.” His eyes remained bright, but they also softened in that way that made my stomach flutter.

“Oh, Gale.” I sighed, practically swooning. “Thank you.”

“My very own virtuoso.” He shook his head, his lips curving into a teasing half smile.

“Don’t start up with that again,” I grumbled. He had grilled me well into the night, wanting to know everything about the training I’d had on the piano.

“Then come join me.”

The coming and joining that immediately came to mind at his words did not involve me doing abdominal crunches.

“No way.” I grimaced. “No exercising for me.”

It wasn’t that I was opposed to the endeavor. Just that I could think of more pleasant and rewarding ways to burn off calories, especially with Gale so near and only wearing boxers.

“I need a Red Bull before I can focus on anything this early in the morning.”

He grunted. “Not an early morning person. I get it. You’re practically nonverbal until you get your magic focusing elixir.”

“If you want sparkling conversation when I first wake up,” I mumbled, “then let me sleep later.”

“Or maybe I just need to wake you differently.” His eyes sparked with promising heat.

“That would work.” My stomach did a warm dip amid all the flutters.

“I’ll keep that in mind.” He gave me a big grin. “Your magic elixir’s in the mini fridge, babe.”

“Thank you. That’s very thoughtful.” I was already up and on my way there.

“Taking care of my girl is my top priority.”

At his words, my footsteps faltered. Top of his list, being his, his actions backing his words, those concepts registered deep. I’d never been a priority on anyone’s list, not from a very young age. And no one, not even my brother, had ever lavished me with so much attention and affection.

My hand trembled as warmth surged through me. Focusing took effort, but I managed to snag a Red Bull from the door of the mini fridge. The aluminum was cool in my grip, and it didn’t escape my notice before I closed the door that there was more than one can, should I want them.

Typical Gale, his care was extravagant. Like this suite.
