You wake up to the smell of coffee and some nice old music playing downstairs. He's cooking breakfast and you hope he's not going to pick up his father's habbits because it's Tuesday, of course. You both need to be at work in a couple of hours, but this is the very special time, when no one bothers you, no one makes you think of all the weird things happening around you. It's you and him and coffee and toast and bacon and sunlight.

You love your kitchen, it's always warm and cosy and smells of the most delicious things. The music is loud enough for him not to hear you enter, so you just stand in the doorway observing him. He was so worried about you lately he lost some weight, you can see it and you can't help but think that you couldn't care less even if he didn't.

You know the song, you love the fifties and when he suddenly dances a little with his back still turned to you, you giggle so loud he jumps and turns around.

'Oh my God, Livia, you scared me', he breathes out clutching at his chest, but then a smile appears on his face and you smile back lazily.

'Good morning', you say leaving your spot in the doorway and inching closer to him. 'Smells great.'

He puts his arms around you and you wrap yours around his neck and just like every other thing the first kiss of that day is perfect.

'Is that Buddy Holly?' you ask, but of course you already know it is.

'Yeah', he frowns and you can see it takes him some effort to hold back a smile because you can tell he's amazed that you recognized the song. 'Why?'

You laugh softly and tilt your head sideways.

'You hang out with Lincoln too much.'

He smiles and looks at you the way only he does. This look is full of warmth and passion and you hope he sees in your eyes what you see in his.

'Is the other most important lady in my life awake, too?' he whispers.

You shake your head.

'No, despite all your efforts to wake us both up she's still asleep', you rub your nose against his. 'But I'm sure she won't mind having a breakfast as well once she wakes up.'

It's the perfect morning. No problems.
