I woke up to the sound of heavy rain still pouring outside. A thick blanket covered my naked body, and I realized I was alone in bed. I saw my father-in-law, Eros, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, wearing only his boxer shorts while sipping a cup of coffee. Wasn’t he cold? And how was he even up already after everything we did last night? Wait, what time is it? I tried to get up, but a dull ache in my hips stopped me. Instead of getting annoyed, a small smile formed on my lips. I knew exactly why I was sore. Eros turned to look at me and gave me a warm smile. I smiled back and softly greeted him, “Good morning.” “Good morning, baby,” he replied as he walked over and kissed my forehead. “I figured you might be sore, so I had some medicine sent up. I also ordered brunch for us.”
