"Hurting?" Jeffrey, lying beside her, had developed this sixth sense of waking up the moment Karen so much as twitched.

"Ugh, I'm pretty sure I'm bedridden today." Jeffrey let out a resigned chuckle and pinched her cheek affectionately. "Told you to pace yourself, didn't I? But no, you had to be the Energizer Bunny." Karen pouted. "When you're out having fun, you gotta go all in, right?" "I surrender to your logic. What do you fancy for breakfast? I'll run out and grab it."
