Rain woke up later than usual, the clock already nearing eleven. The other side of the bed was empty, and she could only imagine Alexander downstairs, surrounded by family, likely enduring their teasing about how he'd worn her out so thoroughly she couldn't wake up on time.
Her cheeks flushed as the memory of the night before surfaced, and she hurried into the shower to wash away her lingering sleepiness. After a quick rinse, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe, towel-dried her hair, and stepped out to fetch something to wear.
As she approached the walk-in closet, the door suddenly opened, and Alexander entered, carrying a tray of food.
"Ah, just in time," he said with a bright smile, setting the tray down and swiftly arranging the table. "Come here and have brunch with me."
"I'll get dressed first," she replied, turning toward the closet.
