My alarm goes off. I look to my right. Yup. Gwen must already be up. God, how does that woman do that? I mean seriously! I get up, and get dressed. I walk through to the kitchen, to see Gwen standing, fully dressed, makeup completely and perfectly done, hair beautifully brushed, at the toaster. She couldn't be more attracted to her phone. I go over to her, and wrap my arms around her. I kiss her neck softly, until she actually notices I'm there. "What are you doing up?" I ask into her neck. "Oh, you know, I kinda wanted to get up a bit earlier, so that, um, I was ready for Oxford." She says.

"Ok. It's eight o'clock now. What time did you get up?"

"Six."

I can't do anything to stop her. She's just such an over-preparer. But I'm madly in love with that. I'm madly in love with the way she does that little nose rub of hers. I'm madly in love with the way she laughs. I'm madly in love, with Gwendolyn Stacy. I pull her in close to me, and put one hand gently to her neck. Our lips just touch, until the toast pops. We both sigh heavily.

"Could you not have set the toast for another 5 minutes?"
