“Morning.”

“Sleep okay?”

“Better after you left.”

I stare at her.

She smiles sweetly.

“More room.”

“Mean.”

“You like me.”

“Unfortunately.”

She turns toward the waffle maker.

I reach for the top waffle.

Her hand slaps mine.

Hard.

“Nope.”

I look at her.

“That’s my kitchen.”

“Currently my kitchen.”

“I live here.”

“Congratulations.”

She slides the waffle onto a plate.

I reach again.

Another slap.

“Hannah.”

“My man gets the first plate.”

Noise erupts behind us.

I slowly turn my head.

Noah has both hands over his mouth.

Eli is bent across the counter.

Jalen is pointing at us.

Vale looks personally betrayed.
