In the picture: Goki Maeda who plays Touta Matsuda in the Death Note TV-drama. Ain't he lovely??? No wonder Fay's having hard time telling him to sod off.

Fay woke up to the tone of her laptop. A persistent beeping penetrated her sleep, ripping her back to the reality.
A skype call - someone was trying to reach her.
Her eyes snapped open.
It took her a few moments to realize where she was - in a hotel in Tokyo, in her room, on the couch under a blanket.
Oh... Oh shit.
Last night returned to her mind in an instant. First the things she had done with Matsuda - and then her conversation with L. It had taken forever to fall asleep after that - besides, the couch hadn't been the most comfortable place to rest.
But after talking with L... she just couldn't have made herself go back to bed to Matsuda. She felt like a slut as it was. Like she had committed an adultery - which was completely insane.
Christ.
As if my life wasn't complicated enough before this?
Her laptop was still calling for her, and glancing to a clock on the wall Fay noticed it was 7.00. Great. She had barely had three hours of sleep. But at this hour, it could only be one person, and she'd better not miss that call.
With a groan she stood up and made her way to the bedroom, took a seat on the floor and opened her laptop.
Lily's face appeared on the screen, and instantly Fay felt better.
"Mom!" the little girl grinned. "Are you coming home tomorrow?"
"Sweetie, we talked about this yesterday. I'll be here for a couple of weeks still."
Lily made a face, sticking out her tongue - probably trying to look fierce, but in her light blue bunny pajamas, she looked as cute as ever.
"That's stupid." she stated. "I miss you."
"And I miss you, honey. I really do. But I promise, I'll come home as soon as I can." her heart ached on those words. She really hoped she could keep that promise. "Why are you calling at this hour? Is everything okay?"
"Yes." Lily nodded. "Mom, look!"
She was showing a paper to the camera - and this time not a drawing. It was a test, mathematics. Lily was four, but she was already solving math problems meant for 12-year-olds - a thing that made Fay both proud and worried.
"You went to the math group today?" Fay asked. "Was it nice?"
"Yes, so much fun! Ms. Aswany says I'm even better than you were."
Fay made a laugh. "I bet you are, sweetie. Just remember, it's supposed to be fun. If she's giving you too much homework, just let me know, okay?"
"Yeah, okay. It is nice. I like it."
