I wake startled at the sound of my morning alarm. With a deep breath to calm my beating heart at the rude awakening, I got out of bed. I think of last night and the awkward tension between Dorian and I. Although last night wasn't eventful, a few hours after I fell asleep Dorian woke me up for some food and complained about Tiger not leaving him alone. Poor guy was just hungry. Dorian was kind enough to prepare some snacks, he even apologised as he hadn't been grocery shopping yet. In all honesty I didn't expect him to make me food to begin with, so I was pleasantly surprised.

I didn't unpacked last night, but when I opened my suitcase I realised the mistake I had made. I was so frantic yesterday I hadn't paid attention to the clothes I was throwing into the bag. There were a few pairs of jeans, a pencil skirt and an array of tops and gym wear. Nothing remotely teacher appropriate other than the skirt. With a groan I grab the skirt, and find a simple white v-neck shirt and lay them out on the bed with clean underwear. I glance around the floor for my shoes and close my eyes in frustration as I only have the black flats, well I suppose I don't have to worry about blisters today.

Within a record time, I jumped into the shower and got ready. I set a later alarm considering I don't have to travel as far to work from here. As I leave my room, Tiger mewls in greeting, needy feline. Something on the kitchen island catches my attention as I do. My car keys lay on top of a note that I quickly picked up and read. 

I had to leave early. B dropped your car off this morning, it's in the underground car park of the building. Use code 2243 to get down there. I've also attached keys to the apartment and main entrance.

I sigh, happy that I don't have to worry about seeing him this morning and any idle chit chat that may have come. I go about my morning as usual, or as usual as I could without Jenna. I feed myself and Tiger.

On my way out I say a quick goodbye to Tiger and make sure to lock up behind me when I leave. It doesn't take me long to find my car and soon I'm speeding out of the car park. After having a whole week off work I was ready for the distraction and to see my students. With the influx of emails I had received I could tell they wanted to speak to me face to face. With my schedule consisting of one lecture and two seminars, it gave me plenty of time to speak to them and meet up with Greyson. Thankfully they didn't ask too many questions about my absence and I was able to answer all their questions for their conning exams.

After being cooped up inside for the majority of the day I was thankful to be outside. The walk from my building to the coffee shop allowed me plenty of time to get some air. I wasn't expecting Greyson to arrive before me, I knew it was him right away. Taking a moment to look at him before heading over to the table I can't help but note the similarities between him and his sister. The same shade of golden hair, but his skin was fairer, probably from working in an office. He was a well built man, wearing a fashionable suit, and if I knew any better screams fed.

As I get closer I can see him more clearly, I would have definitely found him attractive if he didn't look so much like his sister, it kind of freaked me out picturing Jenna as a man. With a disturbing image of Jenna with a fake beard in mind, I reach the table. "Greyson?" I say softly.

He looks up from his phone with a frown, now that I'm closer I can see a slight difference, his blue eyes have a lovely yellow circle around the pupil and his nose is a slightly different shape to Jennas. He blinks a few times before doing a quick sweep of me with his eyes. Not in a leering way, more of a 'is this who I think it is' way.
