Mikl and Karen are awakened in each others arms when Gayle yells, “You two ready for some waffles?”
After a few seconds, “C’mon! Are you two ready for some waffles?”
“Regular or Belgian?” Karen yells back.
“Belgian! I found some in the freezer!”
Mikl, still sleepy, “She is such a bundle of energy.”
Karen agrees, “Yeah, but don’t you just love her?”
“I love being with both of you.” They share a passionate kiss.
“C’mon. Rise and shine you two. Take a shower. We got some serious hacking to do today to find out what’s going on! Need some carbs. You got any grits?”
“Polenta. Second top cabinet.”
“OK! Come on sleepy heads. We got work to do! I’ve already been doing research!”
After a few minutes, Mikl joins Gayle in the kitchen while Karen is using the blow dryer.
“Mmm… Where have you been all my life?”
“Waiting for you, Mikl.”
“Oh, man, this looks great!”
“Nothing much to it. There were some strawberries left over from Karen’s shopping. And some spinach.”
Karen arrives as Gayle is plating scrambled eggs with spinach and a daub of polenta on each of their plates. Giving her a kiss and a squeeze, “Morning, lover. I could get used to this!”
“The food or the company?”
“Both!”
Gayle, seeing Mikl is unimpressed with the amount she’s put on his plate, “Don’t forget we have waffles and strawberries for dessert.”
Mikl is happy again. “Ooh, a two course breakfast. Just like us!”
