Breakfast, cuddles, and thoughts of carnage

Author's note: this is from Seraphina's point of view

When Duke and I got out of the bathroom, I was pleasantly surprised to see that the bed was made and breakfast was on the rolling cart in the middle of the room, all three levels were filled with yummy goodness.

I quickly went to see what all is available.

There were thermos pitchers with tea, coffee, milk, and juice, a variety of pastries and spreads, and fresh fruits. One bell-covered plate was with scrambled eggs, and another one had breakfast sausages and bacon.

I licked my lips shamelessly at the sight of fresh crepes drizzled with chocolate syrup. Those will go great with strawberries.

"You should give Maria a raise.", Duke said, and I hummed in agreement.

The scent of food was inviting, and for the first time in a long time… I was hungry.

Duke and I sat on the sofa, and he spread his arms, inviting me into his embrace. I leaned on him and helped in preparing food.
