~ a drabble ~
(PG-13)
I awaken to the smell of coffee and sounds of Kathryn trying to make breakfast. Raising up on one elbow I smile when I hear her curse under her breath because the replicator is giving her grief again.
I slip from bed into the hall and peek around the corner as she stares at a dish taken from the replicator, her nose crinkled in distaste.
She sees me and with a crooked little smile says, "I hope you're not hungry." I go to her as she puts the dish aside. "Just for you."
I say, "Come back to bed."
