Monday 6:30am

I am awoken by the sound of my ringing alarm clock telling me to wake up. I roll on my side to look at Travis to notice he's not even there.

I hop out of bed to use the toilet and begin making breakfast. As I walk out the bathroom and make my way to the kitchen, the smell of waffles fills my nose.

"Good morning my angel." Travis says as he kisses my forehead.

"You made breakfast?"  I say taken aback.

"Yes Felicity"  He says slighty offended.

"Smells amazing Trav." I say as I take a seat by the table.

Travis hands me a plate with a waffle in whilst he grabs a seat.

"How'd you sleep baby?" Travis asks.

"Fine thanks and you Trav? Why were you up so early?" I ask confused.

"I wanted to make you breakfast for a change Fifi." He states looking down at his plate.

"Thank you my babes, the food tastes amazing." I say reassuringly.


"Its a pleasure. What time will you be home today?" Travis asks randomly.


"Normal time Trav 6:00pm. Why?" I ask confused.


"I just want to make sure, I'll grab us some dinner on the way home then, anything in particular that you are in the mood for my baby?" Travis asks me as he stares at me intently.

"Travis, what is going on?" I ask very confused.

"I just asked you what you want for dinner, why the third degree Felicity?" Travis states defensively.

"Gee okay. Chinese." I say as I get up from the table, putting my plate in the dishwasher before I make my way to the shower.


After I have showered, brushed my teeth and gotten ready for work, I pack my gym bag and grab my keys to head to work when I notice Travis has already left the house.

"Well clearly I wasn't even worth a goodbye." I say to myself as I lock the front door and head off to work.

As I step foot into my office I am bombarded with shitloads of paperwork, I notice someone is sitting at my desk.


"Hello, may I help you?" I ask confused.


"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I'm your new intern, My name is Paige, Paige Matthews." She states confidently.


"Oh, yes I'm sorry, my mind is elsewhere today." I state apologetically.


"Its fine Miss Cameron. Is there anything I can assist you with? From the looks of your desk you have a reasonable amount of work to do and I honestly don't mind lending a hand." She offers respectively.


"Oh, that will be wonderful. Please start with that pile of paperwork. Please may you highlight all the important stuff for me to review, It makers my life so much easier." I tell her with a small smile.

Just as I check my laptop I notice the time reads 12:45. I've missed my lunch break. I continue working, guiding Paige through all the tasks. My phone suddenly starts to ring. Its Travis.
