Life Happens

Kate

Kate shot another arrow at the target. Bullseye. She's been in the target range practicing for hours like normal except something was off. She had this feeling that something was wrong that she just couldn't shake.

"Maybe you should take a break." Kate turned around and saw one of her close leaning against the back wall.

"Luke you know I can't." Kate replied as she turned back to face the targets.

"I know you want to prove yourself and get promoted faster but something's wrong with you and you a break." Luke replied as he stepped closer.

"Nothing is wrong."

"Kate stop being stubborn. You can't lie to me. Let's just go for a walk and have a breather?" Luke suggested as he touched her shoulder. "You don't have to say anything just chill?"

Kate sighed in defeat. "Fine but we are grabbing a coffee."

****

Kate nursed her coffee cup in her hands as if she were protecting it from cool breeze.

"I'm not sure why but it just feels weird. I mean you know I'm not normally anxious but... ugh." Kate blurted out. "Oh er, sorry."

"No don't be sorry. It's good to let it out." Luke reassured her. "It's probably nothing and could just be due to stress but know Kate I'm here for you."

"God you're such a sap. Thanks." Kate said smiling as she looked down at her coffee.

"But I'm your sap." Luke said as he did finger guns in her direction.

"You are such a dork. How old are you again?" Kate asked as she laughed.

"Physically or eternally because they are very different thin- is that rain?" Luke said as looked up at the sky and had a face full of raindrops.

"Race you back." Kate shouted behind her as she sprinted off.

"That's cheating!"

****

Kate and Luke burst into their room soaked to the bone. On their way back the heavens had opened and dumped water on the pair. Luke ran into their bathroom and slammed the door behind him.

"Dammit Luke!"

"Snooze you loose!" Luke shouted back.

"Well you better hurry up in there." Kate went into her room and peeled the wet clothes off of her skin. She rummaged around her wardrobe looking for dressing gown when her phone went off.

[Laura] In trouble cant talk. Get Clint."

Kate fumbled unlocking her phone. She scrolled down her contacts until she got to Clint's.

"The person you are calling is currently unavailable please leave a message after the beep." Kate called another three times before giving up. She grabbed the first the saw and ran for the bathroom.

"Luke! Luke come on we have to go!" Kate shouted as she banged on the door. Luke open the door with a towel wrapped around his waste with the rest of his body still wet from the shower.

"Kate what's up calm down." Luke said as he registered the panicked state that Kate was in.

"I told you something was wrong!" She replied shoving the phone in Luke's hand.

"Ok just give me a few minutes to gather our things and we'll go ok? Just keep trying Clint's number. Kate. Everything will be ok."
