to ensure his safety. It is an older sister’s duty to protect her siblings, which was a belief she held close to her heart. Interestingly, despite sleeping upright, she rested very well and her brother seemed to have slept well, too.
     
    He did not wake up with nightmares, so that was a positive to Jasmine, at least. As she began grabbing a mug from the cupboard, she yawned deeply. Suddenly, her yawn was cut short and she breathed in sharply as she recalled the dream from the night before.
     
    Images flashed through her vision. Mason’s naked, muscular body lifting her up against the wall. Warm kisses littering across her neck along with gentle bites. His fingers gripping into her hips while his groans of passion echoed loudly in her ear. Suddenly, the dream skipped to the two in bed together, intertwined and in love. His groans were replaced by his sweet chuckle as he pecked her lips with care .
     
    Thoughts of her dream warmed her heart.  She found it strange that dreams could have such an astounding impact on the way she viewed others in her life. It was as if it truly was unlocking some unknown feeling. Sighing, she shook away her feelings and went to go check on her brother.
     
    When she reentered the bedroom, she found Calvin still fast asleep and hungover from the night before. Once he felt better, she would definitely make him explain himself – not even a single call to let her know he was okay. Furrowing her eyebrows, she set the coffee on the stand beside his bed and decided to let him sleep the hangover away.
     
    She walked out, slowly closing the bedroom door behind her, and began preparing The Morning Bell for opening hours. As she set out a stack of plates, along with napkins and silverware, to be used throughout the day, she suddenly heard a knock on the door. Mason was standing outside and offered her a small wave. Her breath caught in her throat as the flashes from her dream suddenly invaded her vision again. Shaking her dirty thoughts away, she smiled and strode over to unlock the door.
     
    Mason entered The Morning Bell and breathed in, as if absorbing the smell of dish soap and floor cleaner. Jasmine reached behind the counter and tossed him his apron and hair net.
     
    “Thank you for coming so early,” she nodded politely. “You’ll need to wear the hair net at all times, even though I see you don’t have much hair.”
     
    He laughed and shrugged. “Eh, I understand. Orders are orders.”
     
    “Yes,” she said awkwardly.
     
    “You okay, Jasmine?” he asked, cocking an eyebrow in curiosity.
     
    “Yes,” she repeated, looking around.
     
    She suddenly felt overwhelmed with embarrassment. Thoughts of her dream entered her mind again as she watched him tie on the apron and secure his hair net. Strangely, the goofy outfit only seemed to heighten his attractiveness. Leave it to Mason to make a hair net look hot , she thought.
     
    “Is it about last night?” he leaned in closer to whisper, causing goosebumps to break out all over her body. “Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to you.”
     
    She took a deep breath and cleared her throat before speaking. She was never one to hide her feelings around men, so she continued, “I suppose I just feel a little awkward. I mean, you did save my life and now I have to act like everything is completely normal.”
     
    He waved his hand dismissively. “Don’t even mention it. It never happened.” He winked at her and said, “Anyway, what would you like me to get started on, boss?”
     
    “Well,” she began. “You can start by making some cooking preparations for various dishes. We open in an hour, so you have that time to start crafting breakfast sandwiches with eggs, cheese, and sausage patties. The trick is to slightly undercook it in the pan, because you will also be cooking it all together in the oven to keep it warm. That way, when customers arrive, they barely have to wait for fresh food.”
     
    “Wow, that’s very
