The smell of freshly brewed coffee and sizzling bacon with eggs soon filled the air as the men, championed by Philip, cooked over the campfire, determined to impress their women whose stomachs were growling in anticipation as they set up a picnic table.
"Whatever you do over there, do not let Tom close to the pan," Lucy advised and they all laughed while Tom scowled at her playfully.
"Everything smells amazing," Jade remarked as she took in the breakfast spread. "You guys really went all out."
"Only the best for our ladies," Tom said, giving Lucy a wink.
"You didn't even do much apart from flipping the pancakes," Bryan taunted.
"You flipped the pancakes? I was wondering why they look so delicious," Lucy said, beaming a smile at Tom, and he chuckled while the others looked at them with amusement.
Seated around the picnic table, they enjoyed a hearty breakfast, the conversation flowing easily as they recounted their fishing adventures.
