Wednesday
Sarah and Aiden had a wake up alarm set for 5 AM. Too early for their standards, and they skipped their usual morning cuddles because they need to get ready for the hike in a nearby state park. An early start will allow them to return in time for lunch. Well, that was the plan.
Aiden got out of the shower and found that Sarah is still in the bed.
"Hey!"
His call startled her awake. "What?"
He chuckled. "You slept off."
"I didn't.", she lied. "I was just resting my eyes."
They both woke up at the sound of the alarm. Aiden went to get ready, knowing that if he lingers in the bed he will sleep off again. Sarah said she is right behind him… but she never left the bed! It was too early, and she was too sleepy, and the bed was warm and cozy.
"You are the one who wanted this hike.", Aiden reminded her while watching her stretch lazily.
