I wake up in the morning, the soft light of dawn spilling into Walker's room. I'm wrapped in the cozy warmth of his bed, and I glance over at Walker, still peacefully sleeping beside me. A smile tugs at my lips as I think back to the kiss we shared last night.
As I reach for my phone on the nightstand, I notice a flurry of notifications. I unlock it and see a new story from Ellie on Instagram. My heart skips a beat as I tap on the story, revealing a candid photo of Walker and me from earlier that morning. We're both sound asleep, looking utterly relaxed and content.
I can't help but let out a soft laugh as I see the caption: "Caught my favorite sleepyheads! #MorningMoments." I can only imagine Ellie sneaking in to take the photo, her timing impeccable. It's a bit embarrassing, but the photo is also kind of endearing.
I hear some rustling and turn to see Walker stirring. He blinks awake and glances at me with a sleepy smile. "Good morning," he says, rubbing his eyes.
"Morning," I reply, trying to suppress a giggle. "You might want to see this."
I show him the photo, and he squints at it, then bursts into a chuckle. "Well, that's one way to start the day! Ellie really knows how to catch us at our best."
I laugh along with him, feeling the tension dissolve. "Yeah, I guess she does. I'm not sure how I feel about being posted in such a state, though."
Walker grins and nudges me playfully. "Hey, if we're going to be caught napping, at least it's together. It's kind of cute."
I roll my eyes, still smiling. "I suppose it is. Just a little unexpected."
Walker leans in and gives me a quick, affectionate peck on the cheek. "Well, you look adorable, and so do I, apparently."
I giggle again, feeling more at ease. "Thanks, Walker. I guess we'll just have to roll with it."
We head to the kitchen together, laughing and joking about Ellie's perfect timing. The earlier awkwardness has melted away, replaced by a light-hearted and easygoing mood. As we make breakfast, the photo becomes a funny story we'll remember rather than something to stress over.
