I turned over to look at him and watched him sleeping peacefully. He was right about being so beautiful while sleeping. I could watch him for hours just breathing in and out. I stopped myself though when I had the idea to roll out of bed quietly and make breakfast. I started making some pancakes and fruit. I chopped up strawberries and peaches and washed some blueberries and grapes. I laid out three pancakes and a small cluster on fruit on one plate and two pancakes and a bigger cluster of fruit on another. I put them both on a tray with the syrup and butter and started to make two cups of coffee. I took the tray to my room while the coffee was brewing. I shook Phil awake very softly and he started to wake up./p
