Safe Haven Pt. 1

I woke early that Sunday, dreams, or should I say nightmares, not allowing me to want to even attempt at sleep; nor could I lie there wide awake.

Now, an hour later I was on my second cup of coffee, quietly sipping as I enjoyed the peace of a new morning's sunrise.

I heard the back door open and quietly close.

I smiled behind my coffee cup as I took a sip. Liz sat down next to me, her bed head on the highest level of insanity, her giant cup in one hand, her box in the other.

Once she was situated she smiled at me before leaning over and kissing my cheek. "Good morning, gorgeous."

I smiled through my outrageous blush. "Good morning, Liz. Sleep well?"

She followed my gaze, rolling her eyes upward as if she can see the top of her head. She glared and failed at attempting to smooth it all down.

I laughed. "You may as well give up. Nothing tames that jungle but a shower."

She sighed. "Yeah, you're right. Fuck it."
