Alex woke bright and early on the morning of July fourth. She’d been looking forward to sharing her favorite holiday with Matt. Rolling over, she shook him.
“Come on, it’s time to get up.” She hopped out of bed, grabbed the clothes she’d set out the night before and disappeared into the bathroom. When she came out in her jeans and button down western shirt, he was standing beside the bed pulling a t-shirt over his head.
“I’ll go start some breakfast.”
“Don’t bother, we’re going out to breakfast.”
He stopped and turned to look at her, a frown creasing his sleepy brow. “Out?”
“Yes, out. Did I stutter? Come on! We’ll be late.” She pulled on her socks and stepped into her boots before going back in the bathroom to pull her hair up.
Hair done, she passed him as he went in the bathroom.
