Alexander's POV
I am amazed at how easy Cecilia and I seem to work together. Getting breakfast prepared in any household is always a challenge when there is more than one cook in the kttchen. But we did what my grandmother called 'the kitchen dance' without getting in the way of each other. It's like we had always been a couple working together in harmony.
My maternal grandparents had been like that. They had enough money that they could have hired a housefull of staff, but they didn't. They did have a housekeeper that did the cleaning, and a gardner that looked after the grounds, but my grandmother did the majority of the cooking. Grandpa often helped her, teasing her, sneaking kisses and hugs. Their love and care for each other was what made me realize I wouldn't accept anything less
