Ronan kissed him softly. "Yeah, definitely that."

When they woke up several hours later, it was to find another feast waiting for them downstairs, in the form of breakfast from what must be every last damn coffee shop, diner, and breakfast joint in Harper Valley. There were also bouquets of flowers, and a beautiful wooden box filled with hundreds of types of seeds.

Match sighed, filled a couple of plates, and sat down to eat. "So what's everyone's agenda for the day?"

"I am going to lay on the couch and do absolutely nothing," Benny said. "When my parents bring the kids home this evening, we're all going out for pizza and ice cream."

Traci took her empty plate to the sink. "I'm going back to bed. See you all later."

Match grinned and finished his coffee.

"I'm gonna copy Traci," Penelope said around a yawn. "Then I'm going to be a vegetable on the sofa with Benny. ThenI guess I'll go home and do something undetermined, rest up for wearing a miniskirt to the pizza place tomorrow."

"Good luck," Match said.

Ronan nudged him. "So what are we doing today?"

"I'm going to pick up the van I rented, get the pixies into a temporary enclosure, empty and clean my apartment, and then we're going to your house and relaxing the rest of the day. Tomorrow or the day after I'll shut off the wards. Mostly I want to do not much for a couple of days, until my reserves are built back up." He smiled. "Though obviously we can do some window shopping for our new bed."

"Your wish is my command, witch."

"Then let's get moving." Match kissed him, put their dishes in the sink, and then they were on their way.
