The_Curex - The Next Morning
It was hard to get through the night. It took me forever to get to sleep. It was a mixture of the pain from the stupid surgery, and something nagging at the back of my thoughts. It was the way Lilah looked at me when I joked about what woke me up bothered me. Maybe I should have been more honest with her, but I thought that she might just laugh in my face. It wasn't like we were ever that open with one another. Usually the main parts of conversation between us were sniping at one another over the water cooler. I wasn't exactly in the practice of being honest with people. I mean, I'm a lawyer, for crying out loud. I can't remember the last time I was upfront with someone.
I finally did doze off, though, although I still woke up early the next morning, before Lilah got up. This was probably the first time she got to sleep in in about...well, whenever she did start at the firm. I was still used to living on a ranch from when I was a kid. Hell, I used to have to milk cows at four in the morning, and I never really got out of that time schedule, no matter what I was doing.
I decided to cook Lilah and myself a light breakfast. I managed to get some eggs and bacon together (even though she had a fridge that would make most bachelors starve), and started cooking the bacon, hoping that it would wake her up so that I could ask her how she liked her eggs. I was using a chair of all things as something to lean against, kind of like a walker. Made me feel ancient.
