they get cleaned up and ready for Saturday's brunch

"I'm going to take a shower. I can't believe we just stood there talking while you were clean and I was ... not." Abbie walked over to the shower and turned on the hot water.

Jake lightly patted her ass as she passed him. "I'm going to get dressed. We have a brunch thing at 11:00. I'm starving."

"What time is it now?"

"I don't know. Maybe ten?"

Abbie stepped into the shower and began soaping herself up. Jake walked back out to the bedroom and got dressed. He looked at the clock and called back to Abbie, "It's a little before ten. We should leave by about 10:30."

"Okay!" Abbie shouted back.

Jake stood on the balcony drinking a small cup of coffee. He was dressed in khakis and a buttoned-front linen shirt, maroon with ivory trim around the collar and buttons. The door to the balcony slid open, and Jake turned around.

"Oh hey," he said, smiling. "You look great."

Abbie stood there in the doorway completely naked except for a towel wrapped around her hair. "I was thinking of going to brunch like this. What do you say?"

"I say yes! I'll play the role of Abbie Andrews and say yes, absolutely yes!"

Abbie bit her lip and wriggled a little. Why did that feel so good to hear him say my name that way? "What's the brunch place like?"

"It's a country club." Jake looked down at himself. "This is the closest I have to something country-club-esque. Honestly, I don't think I've ever been to a country club, so I have no idea."

"Oh, I think you look great, Jake. Tres chic. And I think I'll wear my flowered sun dress."

"Aw, so not this towel-top look?"

Abbie pulled the towel off her head and threw it at Jake. "Nice try."

"There's coffee in the room, if you want some. Real cream in the mini fridge."

"Thanks," said Abbie. She gave Jake a cute pose, and then turned back into the hotel room.
