The Early Bird Surprise
The sun had just begun peeking over the hills, painting the sky with golden light. Inside their cozy bedroom, Claire was still wrapped in the warmth of her blanket, dreaming peacefully.
Suddenly, the quiet morning was broken by the sound of her husband, Mark, greeting the day with boundless energy. He stood by the bed, arms stretched high, grinning from ear to ear as if he had conquered the world before breakfast.
Claire blinked her eyes open, startled. “Mark! It’s barely sunrise—what’s all this excitement about?”
Mark laughed. “It’s a brand new day! I woke up early, went for a jog, and even planned breakfast. You’ve got to get up and see the view—it’s perfect!”
Though she groaned and pulled the blanket closer, a smile tugged at her lips. That was just Mark—overflowing with morning cheer, even if the rest of the world was still waking up.
And so, another day began in their home—one filled with surprises, laughter, and just a little bit of sleepy grumbling.
