After a night of very pleasant dreams, uniformly involving his best friend, Jon slowly woke up to his alarm.
He did not expect the blond hair that was in his face, however. Nor did he expect to find his arms wrapped around that same best friend, still asleep.
Suddenly, he was very much awake. He quickly reached over to shut his alarm off. He then tried to get her to poke her in the shoulder to wake her up, but she just snuggled closed when he got further away. "Karyn!" he whispered into her ear frantically. "Wake up!"
"Five more minutes, Mom," she mumbled back, sleepily.
