2nd Floor - 07:22 am

Maggie stood in the middle of the hallway. The dog was standing beside her. She figured that since they all worked in law enforcement that they would be early risers, even when they were on vacation - unless other activities kept them up all night after going to bed. She had seen the looks and touches that Miss Skye and Mr Grant were giving one another all evening, plus the other two kids didn’t leave one anothers side even after denying being together. Maggie didn’t know if the agency had certain rules about co-workers dating and that’s why they kept it a secret or if they were all in denial. She had been thrilled when she learn’t of Phil and Melinda finally getting together - that had been a long time coming and she was happy for both, even if that meant Phil was off the market.

“Rise and shine kiddies,” she shouted at the top of her lungs. “Breakfast will be served in ten minutes … I’d advice you get your butts into gear if you want any bacon before Clint, Phil and the twins get to the kitchen!” she announced, knowing the boys could really pack it away.

Fury barked a couple of times.

Maggie smiled down at the dog and gave him a nod of the head. She then walked off and the dog followed.

 

Skye’s Room

Skye was pulled from her peaceful slumber at the older woman’s announcement. Her head was resting on her boyfriend’s hard chest as she listened to the soothing sound of his beating heart. Her arm was draped over his stomach and he was holding her close. “I’m not a big fan of bacon anyway,” she mumbled into her boyfriend’s chest as she placed a kiss on it before lifting her head and meeting his gaze. She leaned forward and brushed her lips against his for a long drawn out kiss.

“Good morning,” Grant whispered against her lips as their lips parted. He lifted a hand to her face, brushing his fingers across her cheek. “As much as I love lying in bed with you naked on top of me,” he shared. “I’m starving. You wore me out last night and this morning,” he admitted, satisfied.

Skye grinned. “I’m gonna miss this big bed when we return to the bus,” she confessed, leaning forward and brushing a quick kiss across his lips. “How about another quick round before we head downstairs?” she suggested with a coy smile.  

Grant was so tempted to take her up on the offer. “I would love too, but nothing is ever quick when it comes to us. And everyone will get suspicious if we’re the last ones to make an appearance. Unless you wanna come out of the shadows,” he suggested in a light tone.

Skye bit down on her lips. “Not yet … I just like keeping our little bubble for now, if that’s okay?”

Grant leaned up and brushed his lips across hers.

 

Back Verandah - 07:50 am

Skye walked out onto the back verandah feeling refreshed over her shower. She was dressed in bootleg dark blue jeans, leather heel boots and a deep purple sleeveless turtleneck. Her hair was currently down. She was hiding the three love bites that her boyfriend had left on her neck.

A smile filtered her lips when she saw everyone sitting at the long wooden table in the same seats as last night. There was a few conversations going on at once. She was the last one down. The dog stopped in front of her, sat down and tilted his head to the side. Skye smiled as she bent down and scratched his ear. “I think I like you better than your namesake,” she told Fury as he whacked his tail against the ground and let out a bark.
