The heat was already getting to you.. and the sun has barely risen. You felt Alan’s arm leave your side and get up- He’d always been an early riser. You took the last few minutes of your sleep to smell the coffee he was making…

“ C’mon doll, wake up. “

He pat your back with a calloused hand, leaning down to his behind your ear gently.

No one knew about you and Alan’s relationship.. but they had their suspicions. You got up and stole a bit of his coffee before going to get dressed.

Before you two started the day, Alan pulled you close and kissed you, whispering,

“ ’Love you… “

His voice was gruff and low, but he attempted to make it sound gentle.
