"Someone seems very happy this morning," Levi teased as I sat for breakfast. He was holding his piece of toast in his hand and had already served him some food. "It appears that the storm washed away all of your sorrows."

I laughed and took a seat at the table, grabbing a slice of bread and piling some bacon and eggs onto my plate.

Levi narrowed his eyes as he attempted to read me.

"You seem different this morning," he went on. "Something has changed. I simply cannot put my finger on it."
