Belle's POV It's over a month since Jess left to take care of her boyfriend, and she will be back today. "She called me in the morning, I think she was on her way to the airport then." I said to Jeff while he settled at the dinette for lunch. "Ohhh really, we haven't talked since Monday and she didn't tell me anything of sort." He replied while I smiled. "She probably wants to surprise you." I chimed in. "Here, sit, I made you something special." He said and then led me to a chair while grinned from ear to ear. "Oh my… Jeff, you didn't have to do all this. I was going to order pizza." I retorted but deep down, I was so jumping in excitement. "Wow, baked lemon-pepper chicken! Did you really make this?" I exclaimed when he started plating the food. He smiled and affirmed with a nod.
