It leaves her all the more open to the idea of languishing - or perhaps not languishing - in bed a while longer. The slow glow of mischief and intrigue rises in her blue eyes as the finger she'd poked into his ribs melts to settle her palm around the curve of it instead, fingers spanning comfortably across his side.
"You suppose, hm?" Her lips twitch with building mirth. "Hard to beat breakfast in a lineup y'know. I need to know what it might compete with." Though she surely knows - just as she knows it will most definitely require a far larger breakfast once they make it downstairs.

No one has ever made me feel this safe, this free, this me
