She was woken by the clatter of utensils, the opening and closing
of cabinets and the sound of water gushing out from the tap. She headed towards
the kitchen rubbing away sleep from her eyes and suppressing a yawn, surprised
that someone else in the house had risen before her.

she relished her morning cuppa to the last drop which was sweetened by his love
for her.
