Day 4

The following morning, Vicky struggled to wake up fully. In dire need of some sort of caffeine to get the motor running. Too bad she was grounded.

She briefly thought about texting Char and asking him to make a coffee run or something, however she felt pretty guilty about asking him for anything after what she'd done.

He'd lied about it to make her feel better, even though she completely compromised everything he was working for. Vicky spent the whole day yesterday apologising relentlessly to him, and all he could say about it was 'don't worry about it'.

She really did want to believe he wasn't angry about it, but it was a pretty hard lie to swallow.

Still, there wasn't much else that could be done other than swear up and down that she wouldn't meddle in his affairs anymore. So, she got up and got ready for the day.

When she meandered down the stairs, it was quiet. Like she was the only person in the world up. But, as she turned the corner into the kitchen to try to find something to eat, she saw Macey sitting on the floor with a book in hand and Brutus cuddled up next to her.
