I woke up stretching, my joints cracking and I groaned with pleasure. I rolled to see Gabriel still sleeping and I laid there a moment just looking at him. Then I had to pee so bad and realized I have been sleeping on and off since we boarded the plane. I crawled out of bed and ran to the bathroom, I washed up and looked in the mirror, my skin looked good with the tan, it made my mark pop and my eyes too. I brushed out my hair and came out looking at the clock, it was 5:48.

I should get dressed and head down stairs, go see Anna or maybe hunt down some of my packages and start unloading them. I walked to the closet and pulled out some black dress pants and a white sleeveless blouse, my closet was pretty picked over from all the clothes I packed for vacation. I grabbed my heels and headed to the door before putting them on so it wouldn't wake Gabriel up. I threw them on when I made it down the first set of stairs and saw Myra coming out of her room.

"Well good morning." I called walking towards her, she turned and smiled.

"Hey pretty lady, you look cute, couldn't sleep?" She asked waiting for me to catch up.

"Well we slept on the plane, in the car and in bed, I think I've finally caught up on some sleep." I laughed. "I am about to hunt down all of the packages I've sent home from our trip if you want to join?" I asked and she nodded.

"They are all in your office, I put them all in there for you when they arrived."

"Perfect! I just want to grab some coffee first."

"Coffee sounds great." She agreed.

We headed down the stairs heading to the kitchen, I stepped in and Anna turned and her face lit up. I smiled as she came over to us.

"Good morning Luna!" She said bowing. "I heard you all got in last night, I didn't think I would see you so early. How was your trip?"

"Oh Anna it was amazing, it was nice to just get away with Gabriel and with the girls when they joined us! I have some goodies I'll bring by once breakfast is served." I smiled. "We just came to grab some coffee, I don't want to get in your way." I explained.

"Oh you are never in the way, help yourself, I just got a pot made, I'll make up a small plate for you two to snack on." She said walking away, I just laughed and shrugged.

We went and made our coffee and Anna passed us a plate with some fruit, toast and bacon on it. We thanked her and I said I would be back in an hour with some things. We walked to my office and I laughed when I saw the floor completely covered in boxes.

"I didn't think I bought this much stuff..." I laughed again then sighed.

"Well there are a lot more boxes in here now than there was!" Myra said laughing as she maneuvered her way through to set her coffee on the desk. "Well where do you want to start?"

"Well I know those wooden crates are wine, some of which is your guys' that you labeled, so I guess for now I'll stack it all over against the wall and we can worry about it later. I don't think we need to sort wine at six in the morning." I laughed and she nodded.

We just started opening everything and sorting it, anything food or kitchen related went in one pile and everything else was sorted. We took a break to drink our coffee before it got cold and eat our food.

"Wait, where are our suitcases? I have a few things from Papeete in there, I got something for Gabriel and also for the pups. I also got us matching sundresses that were so cute!" I said looking at her.

"Um I'm not sure...wait, no I think I saw them in the corner of my room, yours may be upstairs or maybe in Gabriel's office? I'm sure carrying your six suitcases up stairs didn't sound all that fun and his office is closest to the door." She said shrugging.
