Chapter Text
It was a bright morning, the sun was shining and Morse had woken up early for once and he wandered downstairs to put the kettle on before Win got a chance to.
After last night, he needed to apologise to her and taking her a cup of tea and some toast in bed would be a good start.
Now Morse wasn’t entirely sure of everything that had happened last night…or indeed what exactly he needed to apologise for…no, his memory was rather fuzzy on that.
But he had woken up in the spare room this morning…that was not a good sign. He must have upset Win to be sent to sleep in there.
He also noticed that his pyjamas were rather…muddy? …Strange.
And there was mud on his feet….he must have been outside at some point then?
His head hurt and he had pains in his leg and his arms were aching.
The bed sheets were a mess too…Win would not be pleased at that.
Oh well, he was sure that Win woke up, she would waste no time in explaining exactly what he had done the previous evening.
Morse sighed and made the tea and buttered the toast and set it all out on a tray which he then carried upstairs to the (main) bedroom.
He slowly opened the door and went in. Win was still asleep.
Morse made his way to the bedside table, setting the tray down, before leaning over and giving Win a gentle kiss on the cheek to wake her up.
“Win, love. Wake up, I’ve made you a nice cup of tea”
When Win woke up, Morse did not expect her to react the way she did.
