Uncle Cecil’s Princess
It was a crisp autumn morning, the air biting with a hint of frost. Aurora Fox emerged from her cozy den, her fur fluffed up against the chill. She stretched her lithe body and yawned, her bright green eyes sparkling with excitement. Uncle Cecil was already up and about, his graying fur a testament to his age, but his eyes still twinkling with warmth.
“Good morning, Aurora,” he called out, his voice gruff but affectionate. “I let you sleep in today. You’ve been working so hard lately, I figured you needed the rest.”
Aurora padded over to him, her tail wagging in excitement. “I wanted to be up early with you, Uncle Cecil,” she said, her voice still husky with sleep. “But thank you for thinking of me.”
Uncle Cecil smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. “You’re still young and growing, Aurora. You need your rest. But don’t worry, there’s plenty of time for us to spend together.”
Aurora nodded, her ears perked up with interest. “What’s for breakfast?” she asked, her nose twitching with anticipation.
Uncle Cecil chuckled and held up a small basket filled with eggs and a few slices of bacon. “I’ve got everything we need right here,” he said, his eyes twinkling with warmth.
Aurora’s eyes widened in delight. “A feast!” she exclaimed, her tail wagging wildly. “You’re the best, Uncle Cecil!”
Uncle Cecil smiled, his face creasing with age and experience. “Only the best for my princess,” he said, his voice gruff but loving.
As they sat down to eat, Aurora took charge, her paws deftly cracking eggs into a pan and cooking the bacon to perfection. Uncle Cecil watched her with a proud smile, his eyes shining with warmth.
“I like my eggs over-easy,” he said, his voice gentle.
“Over-easy it is,” Aurora replied, her voice confident.
As they ate, Uncle Cecil couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and contentment. Despite his age, he was still able to provide for Aurora, still able to care for her and teach her the ways of the wild. And as he looked into her bright green eyes, he knew that he would always be there for her, no matter what.
