Masie coos wake me at the buttcrack of dawn.
She's alert, happy, and cool.
Beyond her, Bella sleeps peacefully.
I used to love her long brown locks, all wild and crazy in the mornings.
But I like this short style just as much.
Her face is on beautiful display.
The blonde makes the spattering of freckles on her nose stand out more than they used to.
I haven't had an opportunity like this lately.
So I drink her in.
Plush, pink lips on a heart-shaped face.
Ivory skin.
Graceful neck.
Long, dark lashes.
Chestnut brown eyes.
That catches me ogling.
