'It's all pretty good, seems like. Damn, I should've found this place sooner.'

'Yeah, we both should've found this place sooner.'

Taking a bite of my waffle I smile as deliciousness hits my mouth as I chew it up and swallow.

'Wonder if I can still use the I'm new to the area excuse.  I've only lived in Kimberly two years now.  Probably not.'

Moving on to the scrambled eggs I scoop some up on my fork and take a bite.

[M. Stone]

I chuckle and smile.

"Yeah, I don't think either of us can use that excuse now. We've been here long enough to know the local places. We really should explore more though, what if there's more places like this hiding around the county?"

I pick up another piece of bacon and take a bite before attacking my eggs.

[E. Hawke]

Making quick work of the eggs I set my fork down on the waffle and grab another piece of bacon.

'Guess it's decided then.'

Popping the bacon into my mouth I chew it up and look to see what else I have left to eat.  One slice of bacon left, the toast, and the waffle.  Plus half my coffee.

'Next date we explore this county more.'

[M. Stone]

'Deal. Next date we explore. Guess we can start out here and work our way back towards Fort Shannon.'

I take a swig of my water and then go back to my pancakes, finishing them off before doing the same with my eggs.

As I eat up my last bit of bacon I see that Mark is just about finished with his meal.  Washing down the bacon with my coffee I push my toast towards him a bit.  Guess I got a bit behind on the eating.

'Want a slice?'

Grabbing a slice of toast for myself I take a bite.

[M. Stone]

'Mm, no. This might be too much food already,' I say, using my fork to gesture to the rest of my plate.

'Definitely gonna go home and veg after this. Back to sleep, maybe.'

I take a swig of my water, washing down a bite of bacon.

[E. Hawke]

Looking at Mark's plate again I simply just nod and finish the slice of toast that I picked out.  Picking my fork back up I get back to my waffle and eat a bit faster.  All this eating is really setting in the realization that I'm more tired than I thought I was.

'Yeah, definitely sleep after this.  Ok, after I fill up Savo's dog bowl.  Then sleep.'

[M. Stone]

'That sounds like a perfect plan,' I smile. Good breakfast then a solid nap in bed with Evelyn. Perfect start to the day.

I finish my bacon and eat a slice of toast before pushing my plate away, leaning back in the chair.

[E. Hawke]

'Exactly the plan we were thinking of moments ago.'

Finishing my waffle I take a sip of coffee and grab another slice of toast.

[M. Stone]

The waitress comes over with the bill, and I hand her my card before she goes away.

'Yeah, but that doesn't change that it's perfect,' I smile. I take a swig of my water and glance around the place as more people start to trickle in.

[E. Hawke]

'Cept it was our first plan.  Plan A, and you know how Plan A's go'

Grabbing my next slice of toast I try and scarf it down before it's time to leave; I'll save the last slice for on the way out.  Picking up my coffee I finish it off as I use it to wash down the slice I was just eating.

'At least in regards to movies.'

[M. Stone]

'Yeah, well, that's a fair point. I think we can work it out, though.'

I finish off my water and smile.

'You ready?'

[E. Hawke]

'Yep.'

Picking up my last slice of toast I start eating it as I grab my purse and get out of my seat.  Slinging the purse on my shoulder I wait for Mark to get up and head for the door.  He does need to get his card back from the waitress though but I figure he plans to do that at the counter.

[M. Stone]

I stand up, taking Evelyn's hand as we walk up to the counter. I take my card from the waitress and leave a tip before heading out the door.

[E. Hawke]

Heading out the door I walk with Mark to his truck and then get back in the passenger seat.  Moments later I yawn as we drive out of the parking lot and head home.
