Ginny eyed herself critically in her bedroom mirror, wondering if she looked the part of a young professional woman. She straightened the simply cut silk dress that hugged her slender five foot frame, and once again checked her neatly pinned hair, to ensure that no strands had escaped. Glancing at her watch, she scooped up her evening bag. If she didn't move, she would be late for the dinner she had been invited to by the island Reserve's manager and that would never do.

Getting ready for bed was the second most dreading expertise of the night.There has been no sleep just silence. Every once in awhile the branches outside her window would knock the glass caused by the empty winds. This would only add onto the silence. Her sorrow's eye would just stare into nothing trying to find something, anything really. All was lost for now at least.

Fleur shut her door. Her threadbare t-shirt and no bra wasn’t proper for meeting with a student, but a heavy jumper was. She glanced around her apartment. A few dirty dishes lay in her sink, and a few books were strewn across the table, but nothing that would embarrass her. Satisfied, Fleur opened the door.

Although she wanted to remain in bed just a little while longer, nevertheless, she slowly opened her light brown eyes. In addition to the aroma of fresh brewed coffee filling the air, the smell of sweet, crispy bacon engulfed her nostrils, tempting her to quickly rise from beneath the thick periwinkle-colored comforter.

“Maybe we should sleep; it’s been a long day.” Lucinda said, Hayley agreed and fell into her bed, “Goodnight.”

She raised her voice, gritted her teeth in anger as she pointed toward the front door, “I want you out of here this instant! Take that boy’s dog with you.

Still shaking, she said. “As long as my husband is mayor, and you’re the President of the Women’s Club, I’ll work with you when I see fit, but don’t expect anything extra because you won’t get

They brought the food over to the small bistro table in the kitchen and dug in. After polishing off two pancakes doused in maple syrup and a helping of scrambled eggs, Gwen sat back and moaned. “You have developed some mad breakfast

With that Nico dragged her up from the sofa, and walking ahead of her to their bedroom. Setting foot into the room that they would sleep in, the place where they felt even more safe. Seeing Nico placing down their futons, where their bed would be placed there. Helping her out with it, they began to change. Laying down on the futon, and having the sunlight shine through their only window from the left where they have their balcony. Noting that, whenever they have time to go shopping to buy curtains.

“Hell, sandwiches are good enough.” She jumped off the counter, tossed the apple core in the trash and made her way over where I was standing. “If I were you, I wouldn’t be making him a damn thing. He doesn’t deserve it.”

“Oh… Thank you for the food Lex, although I am not too hungry anymore.” I muttered.

Another round of whimpering jolted Casey out of a deep, peaceful sleep. She moved to a sitting position on the edge of the bed, brushing the hair out of her eyes and checked the time on the bedside clock—3:00 a.m.

Three days had passed in relative quietness, but when Avalon woke this morning she knew something was off: it wasn’t just due to the vacant room she was faced with. Her roommate was absent which was distressing enough in itself; her roommate was never up before she was.
