Chapter 175

Good morning," he greets with a warm smile before laying a morning kiss on me so sizzling and sensual that I almost drop my hot gift of heavenly brew as my brain is temporarily transformed into a puddle of mush.
As he pulls away, I'm actually forced to steady myself for a moment before safely moving forward. Edward has already found his seat at the kitchen table and is busy devouring his breakfast of eggs and bacon. When I see how he's set the table perfectly and that there is a bowl of freshly cut fruit near my plate, my heart warms at his thoughtfulness and a hint of those red sparks become visible at the edge of my eyeline. I sit down and we eat in comfortable silence.
Edward finishes his meal much faster than I do and starts to prepare me for every single detail of what is going to happen today, from the wake, to the actual funeral and to the wolf-ceremony later in the evening. This is going to be a marathon of a day and there are so many elements in it that make me nervous. However, Edward has promised to stay by my side every step of the way and his explanations and seemingly endless amount of patience with my many questions and comments is proof that he will keep that promise. I know I am lucky to have his support and hope that I too will be able to support him in some way very soon.
