The smell of coffee penetrates my nose before I even open my eyes. And what else am I smelling? Maple? Bacon? I slowly stretch my body in the sheets, expecting to reach out and touch Finn, but to no avail. I turn my head to see that Finn isn’t in bed with me. I don’t remember him getting up out of bed. I obviously slept harder than I expected.

Must’ve been the wine.

And umm...last night’s exercise.

I climb out of bed and reach for the white fluffy robe waiting for me on the chaise lounge sitting next to the bed. Finn thinks of everything. I make a quick pit stop in the bathroom to freshen up and then follow the mouthwatering smell wafting from the kitchenette on the other side of the bungalow. There he is as I peek around the corner, the man I am lucky enough to call mine, looking sexy as ever in his lounge pants and no shirt.

Holy Hell how does he look so hot so early in the morning?

“Barefoot and in the kitchen,” I joke. “Just the way I like ‘em!”

My unexpected appearance and humor catches Finn off guard enough that he misses the bowl as he cracks an egg that now bleeds all over the countertop. I try to cover my mouth to hide my laughter, but it’s too late. He hears my giggles and is laughing at himself, or me, as well. His smile lights up my soul.

“Isn’t that supposed to be my line?” he asks as he grabs for a towel to clean up the mess he made.

“Hmm. We’ll see. Maybe one day, but I never said I could cook, so be careful what you wish for.”

“I’ll remember that. I guess you should feel pretty lucky to have me then, huh? A guy who can cook…”

“Finn, I would still want you even if you couldn’t put jelly on peanut butter, but this,” I say motioning to the breakfast he’s preparing. “This is all bonus, but what are you doing cooking breakfast so early? It’s only six o'clock in the morning.”

“Yeah, I know.” He says serving me a plate of delicious-looking French toast and bacon. “Room service doesn’t open until seven, so I ordered a few groceries to be delivered to the room so I could cook for you. Eat up; our flight leaves in thirty minutes, and we need to be ready to go.”

“Wait, what? What flight? Where are we going?”

“I told you, it’s a surprise, but we only have a small window to get there before what I want you to see is gone for the day. So, eat your breakfast, Liv, and throw on some clothes...or go in your robe, whatever you like, but don’t forget your camera.”

“HA! Okay, okay I get it. Food in mouth, clothes on body, grab camera. I’m on it.” I pick up my fork and take a bite of my breakfast as Finn brings me a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice. We both eat our beautifully prepared breakfast quickly.
