If this place is awake, I’m awake

Laileigh: “Grandmama, if this place is awake then I’m awake.” Breakfast was delivered 2 hours ago. I went back to bed. She goes back to bed. I get up to get the breakfast out of the sack. Coffee’s cold. Who decided hotels didn’t need microwaves anymore?! “Here’s your breakfast, Lai. I got you orange juice, bacon, & a fruit parfay. Mine’s my favorite, Salmon on a toasted bagel with creme cheese, egg, onion, & capers. 10 creams in my coffee done. 3 sugars. Yep, cold. Lai: I’ll have mine later…” She’s back sound asleep.
