Robby is confused when he wakes up the next morning. The room is unfamiliar and he has his arm around a woman. He doesn't remember having too much to drink last night. He hasn't been in bed with someone since his wife died. Whoever he is holding feels soft under his hand and smells nice. As the scent registers in his brain he realizes he's lying next to Laura. He sends up a hope that he didn't do anything too untoward last night. He runs his hand down Laura's side and is relieved to feel fabric under his fingers. He wouldn't mind making love to Laura, in fact it would be amazing, but he'd like to remember that moment. He also notes that the alarm clock hasn't gone off yet. He decides to ignore that fact and pulls the cover up and tries to fall back to sleep. After a half hour of lying awake looking at the back of Laura's blonde head Robby finally concedes and climbs out of bed. He goes down to Laura's kitchen and goes on the hunt for coffee. As he moves around the kitchen his memories of last night come back and he smiles. He knows he should be checking his phone and getting back to the case, but can't bring himself to get moving without saying something to Laura. He finally finds the coffee beans and then has to go looking for the coffee grinder and the coffee pot. He's trying to be quiet so he doesn't wake Laura, but the minute the coffee grinder goes on he knows he's probably woke her up. He hears her light footsteps on the stairs as she comes down to the kitchen. "Morning Laura," Robby calls before she enters the kitchen.
"Morning," Laura comes into the kitchen and wraps her arms around Robby's waist. "It was lovely to have you here last night."
"It was so nice to wake up next to you. It's been a long time. Can I pour you some coffee?" Robby asks gently.
"Coffee would be fabulous." Laura takes her mug from Robby carefully knowing the outside of the mug will be very hot. She sits down at the kitchen table and waits for Robby. "Do we want to sit outside with our coffee?"
"That would be nice." Robby says turning towards Laura with his mug.
