Disclaimer: I own nothing except the idea.Kelsi sat on the front porch swing, staring out at the scene before her, clutching the cup of coffee in her hand. She ran a hand through her hair as the rays of light started to turn from navy blue to a bright purple. She smiled, tilting her head to the side.
Ryan ploped himself down next to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
Kelsi laid her head on his shoulder, closing her eyes with a content sigh.
"It's cold. You shouldn't be out here at such an early hour in the dark," Ryan whispered in her ear as if it were a secret to disturb the quiet world around them.
Kelsi snuggled up to him, mumbling, "I'm warm now. And the sun's rising."
Ryan placed a protective hand on her side, tickling her stomach gently with his fingertips as her shirt rose to expose a bit of skin.
"I like dawn," Kelsi reminded on a yawn.
Ryan smiled, tapping her on the nose, "Well, after that, you're going back to bed because you are tired."
Kelsi nodded, looking back out at the sky. Splashes of orange, pink, and yellow invaded the dark to make room for the periwinkle color of day.
Ryan laid his head on hers and sighed in relief when he saw the sun peek out over the horizon. "Kelsi..." he looked down at her and then smiled. She laid there against him perfectly still, her eyes had closed lightly, and her soft breathing was the only sound to come from her.
Ryan got up and scooped her in his arms, carrying her back inside to bed.
