Vaughan bolted upright on the couch, staring around the common room with wide, frantic eyes and hair standing on end. Stumbling quickly to the mantle of the fireplace, he resisted the urge to throw the alarm clock which had awaken him across the room (wouldn't do, as it was on loan), and also managed not to cry, though it was a close thing. Good Godric, it was early. Look at the windows, it was still dark outside. Oh wait, that was the point

Deirdre gasped when she felt something drop onto her shoulders, but she quickly realised it was a blanket. She turned to look up, but Vaughan was already seating himself beside her. She beamed at him widely, snuggling into the blanket he'd tossed onto her shoulders, "Oh, good! You made it, and in plenty of time! Good morning!"
She turned to the basket and set about pulling out some mugs and things, swiftly pouring him a cup of coffee from the thermos. "Here you go! I'm sure that'll help, yes?" she beamed at him, holding the steaming mug out to him and trying very hard not to bounce with excitement. She was just so happy he'd actually not slept through it!

Deirdre beamed at him happily, patiently waiting for him to wake up. She was glad she'd decided to get him out early, otherwise he might not be awake enough to even see the sunrise, which was entirely the point! He obviously needed a bit of time to wake up enough to appreciate it, so she felt a bit better about her decision
