*Elio*
“Cat,” I said quietly. “Come on, love. I need you to wake up.”
Cat grumbled into her pillow and managed to bury herself deeper into her blankets. I chuckled at her weak attempt to avoid getting up and gleamed at her cuteness.
I’d become too fond of the expression she’d wear whenever I succeeded in surprising her. What I found even more adorable was seeing her push her lower lip out and pout whenever she felt even slightly disappointed. Honestly, I had almost caved in the day before in the car when she asked me about our plans.
As if I could plan a trip like this and not include any sort of activity we could do together—the very thought made me scoff with indignation.
Nevertheless, she loved the couple massages I’d booked and the romantic dinner out. I probably shouldn’t have kept refilling her wine glass as the night went on, but I couldn’t bring myself to stop our good time.
