“Breakfast, Tess.”
She gently rubbed her eyes as she sat up. Arthur propped a pillow up behind her back and her eyes fell on the tray he brought up. The omelet was divine and melted on her tongue. The croissant was flaky and delicious, the butter melting on it. Freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee. Tess reached for the coffee, cradling it in her hands as she snuggled back against the pillows behind her.
“So, Tess, what will it be the morning? Some sight-seeing? The Empire State Building, perhaps, or some more shopping. What ever you want. But I have lunch planned, with a visit to two of my favorite places in the city afterwards.”
“Oh yes, please! I’d love to experience the Empire State Building.”
She could care less about shopping, feeling they had done enough of that earlier. Tess sipped her coffee and sighed in contentment.
“May I ask what you have planned for lunch? And what are these two favorite places? Or shouldn’t I ask? Are they going to be a surprise?”
Life with Arthur, so far, was vastly different than anything she had ever experienced so far. Tess was extremely grateful that she had chosen to take a chance on him. So far, he walked his walk and spoke his truth. So far. But then, hadn’t her ex started out the same way? She gave herself a mental shake. The two men were vastly different people and she had to keep reminding herself of that.
