  Helena awoke to the sound of the alarm. She rolled over and looked at her husband who was sound asleep.

  That fool could sleep for England, she thought to herself.

  She climbed out of bed, threw on her dressing gown, stepped out of the room and checked on the twins. They were also sleeping soundly.

  After a quick wash, she made coffee and brought in a cup each for her and her husband. She placed his on the table beside the bed and gently nudged him. He didn’t make a sound. She moved closer, kissed him on his cheek and whispered in his ear.

  “Wakey wakey eggs and bakey.”

  He stirred.

  “Come on Sleeping Beauty, it’s getting late.”

  He rolled over onto his back, and opened his eyes. He blinked as the light of the October morning hit him.

  Helena watched him come around, and was startled when he quickly sat up. He glanced around the room and looked at his wife.

  Helena saw an air of confusion on his face, but it was quickly replaced by a look of elation. She saw a smile as broad and wide that she’d not seen in years. He pulled her close and hugged her.

  “Jimbo, what’s the matter with you?” she giggled. “You’re acting like you haven’t seen me in years!”
