Karter

The blazing light hits my eyes causing me to wake up. I blink twice adjusting my eyes to the bright light in the room. I look over to see Marie smiling at me.

"Hi." She smiles at me.

"Hey. Have you just been staring at me while I sleep like a creep?" I joke.

"Shut up. I was just trying to be romantic. How'd you sleep?" She asks.

"Like a baby. What about you?"

"The same." Marie smiles. For a few seconds we just smile and stare at each other intensely.

"I can get used to this." I say.

"Get used to what?" Marie asks.

"This. Waking up to your beautiful face every morning for the rest of the year." I smile.

Marie smiles at me, "What makes you so sure we're going to be together the entire year?" Marie jokes.

"I got a feeling we will." I smile.

"Maybe." Marie smirks, "Come on we should get breakfast." Marie says as she gets up.

"Alright."

…..

"I hope Millie is alright." Marie says as she she finishes cleaning up the dishes.
