“Did you wake up on the stupid side of the bed this morning?”

“He glared accusingly at her while he made short work of his clothes. "You didn't wake me up."She rolled her eyes as she speared a piece of sausage with her fork. "I did wake you up. Three times in fact. Each time you threw something at me and went back to sleep."Jason gaped at her. "And you gave up? You know our routine, woman. You have tokeep at it until I'm forced to get off the bed to find something to throw at you.”

“Like the sound of a velvet curtain being drawn aside on a peaceful morning to let sunlight wake someone very special to you.”

“Imagine waking up one morning and finding a piece of yourself you didn't even know existed.”

“You've got a better chance with me, Dru. Don't do something stupid again. If something happens, it's you and me against the world. Got it?”
