Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie)

It was 5:00 AM.

I got up early and did some yoga to get myself prepared to face the new workday. I wanted to be fully energized.

At 6:00 am, after washing up and changing, I was ready to make breakfast when my phone buzzed with a text message from Brandon.

"Breakfast is on the table. The key is hanging on your door."

After staring at the message for a few minutes, I finally opened the door and indeed found a key. I opened Brandon's door and saw the breakfast he had prepared. Last night, I couldn't bring myself to refuse his dinner offer, and naturally, I couldn't resist the temptation of good food.
