Green Plum Town.
Angeline and Jay slept in. It was almost noon when they woke up.
Angeline still felt a little tired after a night's sleep. She thought that it could be because she had been very anxious the day before. She wanted to stay in bed.
Jay’s gentle gaze was on Angeline who was still in a daze. He gently stroked her beautiful face, asking softly, "What's the matter?"
Angeline grinned at him and said coquettishly," Jaybie, I want to stay in bed. Would you be so kind as t o prepare breakfast and bring it to me?"
Jay laughed out loud and pinched her nose. "Aren’t you a little piggy?’
Angeline had a beaming smile.
Jay put on his clothes and stood by the bedside in the wind. He looked at Angeline and asked, "What do you feel like having for breakfast?"
"I’m happy with anything."
"Pastries?"
Angeline shook her head.
"Omelette?"
Angeline still shook her head.
Jay's lips curled up into a smile as he thought to himself, 'This is not anything.’
"Okay, how about pancakes?"
An enthusiastic twinkle appeared in her eyes as she nodded excitedly.
However, when he thought about his late return last night and linked it with Angeline wanting to sleep in, he felt very anxious.
"Angeline, tell me honestly. Are you feeling any discomfort?"
Angeline knew that instead of making him guess, it was better for her to tell him the truth. "Jaybie, don't worry. I'm just a little tired."
She sat up, stretched out her hands to embrace his neck, and kissed his forehead.
Then, she lay back down shyly and covered her face with the blanket. She said in a muffled voice, "Look, I can move."
Jay was a little dazed by what just happened...
"Okay. I'm going to make breakfast."
Jay left the room with the widest grin on his face.
