“Good Morning!”
“Good morning,” Aline said, while her heartbeat rapidly outpaced her ability to think. She offered him her hand, and her breath caught at the gentle clasp of his fingers. Somehow she managed to find a calm social voice. “Did you rest well last night?”
“No.” His eyes glinted as he retained her hand a moment longer than was acceptable.
“I do hope that your room is not uncomfortable,” Aline managed to say, tugging free of him.
“What would you do if I said it was?”
“Offer you another room, of course.”

“Good morning.'
Cassian's fingers idly smoothed her hair. 'Good morning to you, too.' He glanced toward the mantel- the small wooden clock in its centre, then lurched up. 'Shit.'
Nesta frowned. 'You have somewhere to be?' He was already hopping into his pants, scanning the floor for the rest of his clothes. Nesta silently pointed to the other side of the bed, where his shirt lay atop her dress.
'Snowball fight. I'll be late.'
Nesta had to unload every word of his statement. But she could only ask. 'What?'
'Annual tradition, with Rhys and Az. We go up tot he mountain cabin- remind me to take you there one day- and... Well, it's a long story, but we've done it pretty much every year for centuries, and I haven't won in years. If I don't win this year, I will never hear the end of it.' All of this was said while shoving himself into his shirt, leather jacket, and boots.
Nesta just laughed. 'You three- the most feared warriors in all the land- have an annual snowball fight?'
Cassian reached the door, throwing her a wicked grin. 'Did I mention we take a steam in the birchin attached to the cabin afterward?'
From that wicked grin, she knew he meant completely naked.”

“Good morning. Eat something AMAZING. You’ll need the strength while pulling your authentic voice from the pile of other folks’ expectations of you.”
“Good morning.”
“Fuck you,” she growled, still confused.
“I wore you out, huh?”
Raven’s angry panicked eyes narrowing, she glared at me. “If anyone was worn out, it was you. I’m surprised I didn’t break your dick.”
“Who said you didn’t?” I said, causing her to smirk. “I might need a little cast for it.”
Raven finally smiled for real. “It wouldn’t be the first time.”
“We could test it out,” I said, wiggling my eyebrows.
“I need to leave.”
“It’s barely six.”
“Sleeping over is a mistake.”
“True,” I said, tossing aside the sheets to show how a little cast wasn’t in my future. “Of course, I don’t know if walking will be an option after I’m done with you. Better for you to go while you can still move.”

“Good morning, good morning, good morning," Loki chirped, wheeling in a table covered with silver domes.
"What are you doing?" I asked, squinting at him. He'd pulled up the shades. I was tired a hell, and I was not happy.
"I thought you two lovebirds would like breakfast," Loki said. "So I had the chef whip you up something fantastic." As he set up the table in the sitting area, he looked over at us. "Although you two are sleeping awfully far apart for newly weds."
"Oh my god." I groaned and pulled the covers over my head.
"You know, I think you're being a dick," Tove told him as he got out of bed. "But I'm starving. So I'm willing to overlook it. This time."
"A dick?" Loki pretended to be offended. "I'm merely worried about your health. If your bodies aren't used to strenous activities, like a long night of love making, you could waste away if you don't get plenty of protein and rehydrate. I'm concerned for you."
"Yes we both believe that's why you're here," Tove said sarcastically and took a glass of orange juice that Loki had just poured for him.
"What about you princess?" Loki's gaze cut to me as he filled another glass.
"I'm not hungry."I sighed and sat up.
"Oh really?" Loki arched an eyebrow. "Does that mean that last night-"
"It means last night is none of your business," I snapped.”

“Good morning, Grandma little owl,” he said, still running.
“Good morning, dear Nader… I’m trying to sleep. It was a long night,” said the kind owl, resting above a high rock.
“Well, then… happy dreams, grandma little owl,”
“Don’t wander far alone; the wolves might eat you,” warned the little owl before she surrendered to sleep.
Of course, the fawn was running at top speed; he couldn’t hear her advice.”

“Good morning, Hell-A. In the land of the lotus-eaters, time plays tricks on you. One day you’re dreaming, the next, your dream has become your reality. It was the best of times. If only someone had told me. Mistakes were made, hearts were broken, harsh lessons learned. My family goes on without me, while I drown in a sea of pointless pussy. I don’t know how I got here. But here I am, rotting away in the warm California sun. There are things I need to figure out, for her sake, at least. The clock is ticking. The gap is widening. She won’t always love me “no matter what”
