You could call it the morning after, but it's not like anything has ended

X's required two hours of sleep came later in the night than they usually do. And once she was awake again, it seemed better stay in bed for a while, watching Bruce sleep.

But eventually breakfast is going to come calling. As are the cats.

It is fortunate that she has the makings of omelets ready to hand.

A high-energy breakfast is probably the way to go.
