The couple woke up to a beautiful morning, the sun was glazing in, listening to the wonderful sound of the birds chirping in to the environment. Arthur pulled Sarah in to rub at her hair and she patted his face with her hands, and poked at his unnaturally grown beard. Arthur laughed quietly. "That tickles!" he exclaimed as he looked down at her. Sarah cuddled up closer to him and looked up to the ceiling. "Just two weeks to go." She whispered to him. Arthur smiled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I wish they could fly in. Can't wait to spend my life with you." Arthur said as he unfolded the duvet from his chest. Sarah yawned and got up from the bed. The faintest sound of traffic made their backs itch. Arthur wiped off the dust from the side of the bed. "What time are you going to work?" Sarah asked as they went down the stairs. "10:30am. We are actually beginning our recruitment stage." Arthur replied. 

Arthur is now undertaking an apprenticeship at a national transport hub. He's been in the job for the past 3 years, observing and taking practical duties. There are incredibly tough challenges, but he feels privileged to have the job. Very good salary he earns. 

"Can you put the kettle on?" Sarah asked as she went back upstairs. Arthur proceeded to the kettle and flipped the switch. As the water was steaming, he was feeling relatively relaxed. The heat from the boiling has surrounded him, like trying to play him into falling asleep. He was too focused on the day ahead. When the kettle was boiled, he took it and then he grabbed out a teabag. He opened it and let the substance into the mugs. He then poured the water in and mixed it together (both mugs). 

When Sarah returned, he started to cook up a breakfast. The smell of sausages and bacon already stokes up the air and fills it with the smell of food. "This smells delicious" Sarah said as she wrapped her arms around him then kissed him in the cheek. Arthur continued to cook the rest of the food until it looked hot. "Can you get me the plates?" he asked. "Sure." Sarah replied as she went to open the cupboard. She set out the plates and went over to help him. "I'll put the food out, go and sort out the rest." she suggested. "it's ok, I'll be grand." Arthur added. "I don't mind helping. Go on." Sarah spoke. Arthur let Sarah put the breakfast onto the plates while he sorted out the tea. Moments later, the pair of them sat down to a fry at the table.
