Chapter 86

Jasper

I'm drinking my coffee, waiting for Daisy to come into the kitchen. I'm going to ask her to do something with me. Something I've never asked of anyone else. My hand slightly shakes as I bring the cup to my lips. I'm beyond nervous. 

She shuffles into the kitchen, hair a mess, and smile sleepy. This is my favorite way of seeing her. It's special because only I get to see her this way. "Morning." She yawns, wrapping her arms around herself. "How long have you been up?"

I push a cup of coffee across the table toward her. "Not long. That's still hot."

Glancing outside, she smiles. "It looks warm out there for the first time in months. Have you been out yet?" 

"Yeah, went to go grab the mail, and it is warm. Which is good, because I have something I'd like for both of us to do today."

"Oh yeah?"
