~Bella's POV
Morning light spilled softly through the curtains as I slowly stirred awake. The quiet stillness in the room was broken only by the gentle clinking of a tray being set down beside me. I opened my eyes to see a simple breakfast waiting, just some toast, fruit, and a cup of tea. A small smile tugged at my lips. Of course, Alex had prepared it. Only he would know exactly how to make something that felt like care without being over the top.
I sat up, running a hand through my tangled hair, when the door creaked open and Alex stepped inside. His eyes immediately found mine, and a slow grin spread across his face. "Good morning, beautiful," he said, his voice warm, teasing.
I couldn't help but laugh softly, the warmth of the moment settling over me like a gentle blanket. "Morning, handsome. I see you're spoiling me."
