I woke up early Sunday morning and walked from the cabin to the general store just down the road. I purchased a copy of the Sunday New York Times, some fresh Bagels, a container of freshly squeezed orange juice and some tea for my angel. She was asleep when I left her, so when I came back I quietly closed the door and went into the kitchen to prepare our breakfast.
She startled me when she came up behind me and asked what I was doing.
"Making a light breakfast for you, my honey," I said.
She hugged me from behind and said she was going to shower. As she walked away, with the sheet wrapped around her, I just stared as I marveled that once again this magnificent woman was back in my life.
We sat around the breakfast nook, chomping away and reading the paper. She would comment on something she had read, I would do the same. After awhile, I started the fire again in the little cabin we called home for a few days. It took the chill out of the air of the cabin and gave it a nice smoky smell.
"Come sit by me, next to the fire," I said.
She came over and I put my arm around her and we talked and laughed. Then I looked her in the eyes and said, "you know I absolutely adore you, right?"
She smiled and said, "yes and I adore you, my dearest."
I then kissed her. No other words could communicate how I felt about her at that moment.
