Being with Georgette #1

I tried not to disturb her when I got out of bed, but Georgette was already awake.

Without turning, she said, “I’m sorry I woke you.”

I said, “I’ve been awake half an hour. I thought I woke you.”

Georgette said nothing.

“Breakfast?” I asked.

“Yes.”

An hour later, the tray was still next to her side of the bed, the food untouched.

“Your eggs are cold,” I said.
