She was laying in bed, with her back to the door, she pulled the blankets over her head when he slipped into bed with her. He gentlely shook her awake, nibbling on her ear, his hands caressing her body.
"Hey beautiful, wake up! I have big plans for us today!"
She moaned. "Go way!"
"I made waffles, maple syrup..." She pulled the blankets away from her head, smiling at him.
"Coffee?"
"Of course...I'm beginning to think you only love me for my waffles."
"I love you for other reasons..."
"Really, what are they?" He smiled down at her.
"Your french toast, your roast beef, your..." He growled at her straddling her hips he started tickling her. "Please, please stop! I love you Eliot!"
He leaned down to kiss her. "I love you too Mack. Now let's go eat breakfast."
She got up from bed, he pulled her into his arms kissing her before walking out of the room. She followed him down the stairs to the kitchen. She sat down at the bar, watching him work in the kitchen, finishing up the waffles.
It was hard to believe they'd been together a year, she closed her eyes thinking about everything that had happened. Hoping that the bad was behind them, she was going to focus on the future.
"You okay babe?" He asked, looking at her with concern.
"I'm fine." She smiled at him, she leaned over the counter to kiss him.

"Sounds promising! I need some activity after breakfast and I'm sure lunch will be amazing. Are you trying to make me fat?"
"Hmmm...you could use some meat on your bones!"
"Eliot Spencer, are you saying you don't like the way I look?' He pulled her on his lap, kissing her, his hands exploring her body.

"Yeah..it's Nate. He's missing, he was taken."
"What?"
"Get dressed, we're heading over to Nate's now to build a case and find him."
