Chapter 71

• Waking up alone always sucks because my brain is already up the minute I open my eyes, and I am thinking about the backlog of work I have. But waking up with Toby? That was something I wanted to experience every single day.
• He woke up like a Disney princess—his eyes fluttering open, the cliché stretching his arms and limbs, even down to the soft yawn. When he finally became aware of his surroundings, he turned to me, a lazy smile tugging at his lips.
• “Good morning, love.” He rasped in a sleep-laden voice, and I giggled, giddy from being called love. But you can’t fault me; I am finally getting the love I deserved, and sometimes it was surreal.
