My CEO 347

347 Rest and Reunion (Winona)

When I wake up, the sun is low in the sky, casting a warm, golden glow through the enormous windows. The bed beneath me is impossibly soft, and for the first time in days, I feel... good.

The dizziness has faded, and my headache is gone.

I stretch out, feeling the luxurious sheets under my fingertips. This place is a dream. But more than the comfort, I'm starving. I sit up and glance at the time. It's early evening, and Jayden and the kids are still out.

The suite is quiet and I get up and pull on a robe.

I hear the door click open. It's Jayden. "We're back."

"I'll come out."

"You look better."

"I slept like a log."

I give him a quick kiss as we head out to the living area.

Bobby, always the calm one, strolls over more casually. "It was pretty cool."

Sarah tugs on Jayden's hand. "Daddy, can we show Mommy the pictures we took?"

"Sure thing," he says, settling onto the sofa beside me.

The girls clamber up with their devices, showing me photos of their adventure. It's heartwarming. watching their excitement. I can't help but smile at how much they're enjoying this experience already. After the kids are done with their photos and stories, Jayden turns to me. "I had the hotel arrange something special for dinner. You ready to eat?"

My stomach growls in response, and we both laugh.

"I take that as a yes," Jayden says..
