When she opened her eyes to see Nikolai, who was dressed appropriately for the day and holding a sizable tray of hot meals, she was overcome by awe.

She quickly sat herself on the bed, beaming joyfully as she extended her arms. "Give them to me."

"No good morning kiss?" With his lips pursed, Nikolai asked.

Ophelia dropped her arms, flushing. "No."

Nikolai dramatically gasped, putting his palm to his chest. "That hurt but as your husband.." He paused, walked closer to the bed and she happily outstretched her arms once again. "I will give them to you." He laughed and handed the tray to her.

"Thank you!" Her eyes beamed and she immediately began to dig in.
