Elizabeth Parker sits in the bay window and sips her tea. She's waiting for Nick to wake up. She and Nick need to discuss what she's going to do with her design business that is based in London since she's now living in Napa.
"Good morning madam." Martin, her butler, says as he enters the room.
"Good morning Martin." Elizabeth says smiling at her friend.
"You're up early. Is everything alright?" Martin asks as he pours himself a cup of tea.
"I've just got a lot on my mind. It's nothing for you to worry about." Elizabeth says as she looks out on the vineyard. The saffron beams of the rising sun illuminate Elizabeth's face.
"You're wondering about moving the design business to Napa, aren't you? You're not sure whether it's going to succeed." Martin says as he looks at his boss.
"Napa is capable is supporting a high end bridal designer, but yes, I am slightly worried. You're up early this morning, Martin. Where's Chessy?" Elizabeth asks as she relaxes with her friend.
"I left her to sleep. She looked so lovely when I woke up this morning and I couldn't bring myself to wake her up. I'll make breakfast this morning. I don't mind." Martin says as he sips his tea.
"Morning," Nick says as he enters the room wearing his pyjama bottoms and a t-shirt. He wraps his arms around Elizabeth and kisses her cheek. "You were up early. Is everything alright?" Nick asks.
"I think I'll go start on breakfast. Is there something special you want?" Martin asks.
"I don't think so Martin. Where's Chessy?" Nick asks as he pours himself a cup of coffee.
"I left her to sleep, sir. I'm sure that I can get breakfast on the table." Martin says confidently.
"I'm sure you can, Martin. Are the girls up yet?" Nick asks calmly. "And how many times dow I have to tell you not to call me sir? It's Nick even to the people who work for me." Nick says teasing Martin.
"I haven't seen Annie and Haley yet this morning, but I suspect they're still in bed. I'll go start on breakfast." Martin says before he walks towards the kitchen.
