In the morning, Eric grumbled as his alarm woke him up. Mia was already up and about. Today she would be briefing Milano about the possible avenues the empire would take in response to their next phase of the plan:
Taking control of the Esponia mountains.
Mia chuckled while noticing Eric's drowsiness. She handed him a cup of coffee and pecked his cheek. "Good morning sunshine." She teased while setting the table for breakfast. Eric grumbled in response. "It's too early for this shit."
"Well it's your own fault for playing poker with Kamer and Hammond until three in the morning. You're almost thirty, not twenty-one."
They got ready after breakfast, joking with each other the entire way to Hood Hill. Eric drove with his hand on her thigh, while she propped her feet on the dashboard. "Does this dress make me look fat?" She asked, turning to him with a grin.
