On the following day, Lucas managed to wake up by himself and didn't have to be woken up by Jen in the morning. When he looked at his reflection in the bathroom mirror, he only noticed that there was hardly any visible signs that he had a large nasty looking bruise on his face a few days ago.
After he finished getting dressed, he went downstairs where he saw Jen putting his breakfast on a plate. He went to the kitchen and took the plate from her hands and set it on the kitchen counter.
Jen's body was turned around so she would face him. She looked up at him with a smile and straightened his tie.
"You seem to be in a good mood today," Lucas said as he pushed her hair behind her ear.
"Mmh, it's because I didn't have to wake you up today," Jen said not even trying to hide the reason. Lucas only smiled sheepishly because he could not say anything to defend himself.
