“Well, you’re the doctor.” He said with a yawn. He walked slowly down the hall and almost collapsed on the bed. “Holy crap… I am beat. Just… just wake me up for the wedding.” and he yawned and closed his eyes. In just a few moments, he was out.

Cara woke sometime right before the sun actually peaked over the trees. She was draped across his chest. The man slept like a log until there was some reason that he needed to get up. How he knew the difference while he was asleep, Cara had no idea. She slipped quietly out of the bed and started making tea. She brushed and braided her hair, and then slipped a flannel lined satin robe over her gown and took her oolong tea outside. She stepped through the back door of the pod and slid it closed as quietly as possible. She stood in the mist shrouded morning and let the chill race down her spine. She loved mornings in Ireland. In Cara’s very biased opinion, there was nothing more mystical than watching the first rays of sunlight bounce with prismatic effect through the water vapor of the morning mist. Set against the backdrop of all forty glorious shades of Irish green, it was enough to make one believe in treasure at the end of a rainbow. She curled up on one of the large lounge chairs, sipping her tea, and simply watched the world wake up.

A large hand settled on her shoulder. How a man that big was able to move that quietly was a mystery; but quiet he was. “Mornin’. How’d you sleep?” Gravel asked and then stretched his arms up high and exhaled a massive breath. He looked around and then down at her. “I dunno what’s prettier… that view there or the one on the chair right here.’ and he grinned.
