What were the odds, really?
As though quietly calling out to him, a small handwritten note rested neatly beside the unexpected breakfast spread, and he really should've braced himself before picking it up.
"Honey,
Sorry for leaving so early after our first official night together. Off to water the children and to check on Izzie!
You were sleeping soundly, and knowing you'd have a long day ahead of you, I just couldn't bring myself to wake you. Speaking of which, I'll bring Izzie around myself today so no need to worry!
P.S. Picked up breakfast for you too in case you're in a hurry this morning. Hope you like the coffee. Luca said people who work a lot seem to rely on it, and he was making some for the Captain, so I figured you might like some too.
If it doesn't taste very good, Luca said we can try different brews next time, or maybe even tea instead. Just let me know what you prefer, and I'll figure something out. Try not to go to work on an empty stomach.
