Chapter 38

• The padding of his larger frame coming down the hall made her heart beat pick up, and she readied her best morning smile, knowing he would soon enter.
• Maeson woke up and rolled out of bed. He usually wore his running shorts to bed, so getting dressed for the morning was easy. Socks, shirt, and shoes and he was ready to go. His parents, who were already about midway through their morning routine, were his alarm clock. Heading upstairs he greeted them, chatted for a little bit, got a cup of tea and read the financial times along with his father.
• When they both left for work, he lingered over another cup of tea, Irish breakfast, read a little bit more and headed out for his run about the same time he could hear Kimber getting up and moving around. He didn’t check in on her. Rather he simply let her follow her own routine. He would see her when it was time for their morning shower together.
