Horatio was dismissed from duty, by Alan at around four and he settled into the guest room. The next morning, just after his alarm rang, Charlie saw the sevant come in with a tray consisting of scrambled eggs, toast, and coffee.
"Good morning, Sir!" he laid it down on the bed.
"Horatio! You shouldn't have!" Charlie felt like he was imposing on the kindly servant. "I would've come down. Thanks!"
"If you'll excuse me, sir, I need to serve your father his breakfast." The valet excused himself.
Alan was surprised to see Horatio served him breakfast in bed. The only other person who had done this for him was Margaret when he was sick, on father's day, and on his birthday.
"Good morning sir!" the servant greeted him as he put the tray on the bed.
"Good morning!" Alan said. "Smells delicious! Thank you!" he could really get used to this.

"How are things going with the new valet?" Don asked with a smirk, as the two brothers sat at his desk that afternoon.
"Great! He brought us breakfast in bed this morning, and shopped for dad yesterday."
TBC.
