She’s not a morning person. Hates getting up early. Loathes the alarm clock. And most definitely enjoys sleeping in. So when Ashley met Mike she did away with her traditional alarm clock and Mike became her new one instead.
Every morning he leaves the house before she does. Before she’s even awake. Still lost off in dream land. And every morning Mike kisses Ashley goodbye. Gentle enough not to wake her because he knows she’s not quite ready to wake up just yet. So he grabs his coffee, heads to the kitchen and gives her a couple more minutes of rest. And as he heads out the door Mike yells goodbye just loud enough to make her stir. Start to think about getting up. And get started with her day.
But as Mike closes the door, Ashley rolls back over. The kiss wasn’t quite enough. The yell wasn’t quite enough. Because Ashley, after all, isn’t a morning person. So Mike patiently waits. A couple of minutes. Then a few more. And he knows exactly when the time is right. So he picks up the phone and calls Ashley on his way to work. She rolls over. Grabs the phone. And smiles as she whispers hello. It’s the perfect start to her day. Every day. And much better hearing ‘Good morning, I love you’ than a boring old alarm. It’s her favourite moment of the day.
