The next morning, Katherine woke up to an empty, cold bed. She felt immediate panic before she noticed the note on Charles's pillow. She picked it up and read it:
"Kit, gone on my morning run. See you in a little while sleepy-head."
Katherine smiled to herself as she read the note. She had no idea how he had the energy to get up so early every morning, let alone go on a run. She had no problem being the sleepy-head in their marriage.
After she stretched her tired limbs, she got up and decided to shower to freshen up before she and Charles left for their honeymoon. She had been looking forward to getting away for a while, but even more so now. She thought that she and Charles needed the uninterrupted time together to figure some things out.
