~Bella's POV
It was one of those rare days where everything felt perfect, where nothing could go wrong, and I could just be in the moment. Alex and I had planned to spend the day together at my place. We didn't need anything extravagant. We didn't need to go anywhere special. Just being with him was more than enough.
I woke up earlier than usual, a flutter of excitement filling my chest as I thought about the day ahead. After a quick shower, I got dressed in a cozy sweater and some jeans, keeping it simple. I didn't feel the need to overdo it. When I walked into the kitchen, Alex was already making coffee, the smell drifting into the living room.
"Morning," I said, leaning against the doorframe and watching him.
He turned with a smile, his eyes lighting up when he saw me. "Morning, beautiful." He reached out to pull me into a hug, his arms strong around me, holding me close for a moment before pulling away slightly to look me in the eyes. "You sleep well?"
