i exited the dilapidated cabin with a swift yawn, the prickling of the grass on my feet encouraging a small wince. Noah hopped off of a rock ledge, his face painted with a buoyant smile. he waved, and i responded with no words, but rather an offset smile. Noah chirped, “

Good morning Daisy!” His eyes sparkled as he looked at her, it had only been a week since the wedding but they were already like an old married couple. Daisy blushes with a toothy smile and swiftly walks over to him. “Mornin noah,

Noah went over to Daisy and asked,
“What’s wrong with you?, you don’t seem very happy at all.” Daisy said, “Noah, I’m very tired today and I’m not up for anything”. Noah replied, “oh ok, I’m sorry you’re feeling that way.”

"I might go to sleep", said Daisy. "Alright, well I'm going to head off to the bakery," said Noah. While Daisy was sitting there chatting with Noah, she started to doze off to sleep. Noah, knowing that he couldn't leave Daisy on the bench, He brought her with him to the bakery.

Daisy snored lightly as Noah kneaded the dough for the morning's fresh loaves. Awakened by a dream she soon forgot, Daisy watched Noah work the dough on the table, the light dusting of flour on his arms accentuating his bulging muscles. He put the dough in a bowl to let it rise.

“You don’t have to do this,” said Daisy, “You have your own bakery to run.”

Noah put the rest of the dough into another bowl. “I don’t care about this bread feud like you do.”

“Why not?”

“I want to do something else with my life,” he said, “something like
