"Look into the emptiness and step into the cold. Gravitate your body and your soul. Deep inside of all of us there's something left to hold, even when we give up all hope, there's space enough to grow".

Space Enough To Grow // Of Mice & Men

Daniel woke up to sounds he couldn't recognize in the beginning. He frowned and listened a while, looking over to the side of the bed, which was empty. "Maja?". He called, standing up and walking around his apartment.

The Australian found her seated in his office alike room, a guitar tucked under her arm and her fingers dancing over the neck, creating a beautiful sound he hadn't heard in a while.

Daniel leaned against the door opening as Maja didn't see him, her hair like a dark curtain down her face, just focused on the music she made. He could recognize the different songs she played, most of them bluesy stuff and other rock ballads.

"I never knew you could play guitar". Daniel spoke softly. Maja looked up at him and blushed, putting the instrument back on its place on the wall.

"Same for you". Maja chuckled, assuming he could play something as he owned a guitar. Daniel laughed and shook his head, putting his hands in the pockets of his joggers. "I can play like three chords, never had any time to learn".

Maja nodded, understanding what he said. She stood in front of Daniel, looking up at him. She was dressed in one of his basketball tops. Daniel quietly studied her gorgeous face and smiled down at her.

"Want to have breakfast?". He asked, yawning as he went towards the kitchen. Maja eyed the muscles rippling beneath his skin as he stretched himself, turning around to her and playfully flexing his biceps.

Maja rolled her eyes, but had to admit he looked really good physically, much better than Albin. Bonus: Daniel was like a skyscraper in front of her and she loved how tall he was. "Just share whatever you eat in the morning". Maja shrugged and sat down on the kitchen platform.

"Are you sure? It's super healthy and some things are really nasty". Daniel scrunched his nose as he got some fruit out of the fridge, eggs in his other hand. He reached out for some flour that was in a glass pot, next to some other things. Maja assumed it were herbs.

He quietly cut the blueberries and strawberries, mixing them with some green stuff that made Maja consider her decision of eating what he ate. She admitted it looked less bad when it was morphed into a pancake.

Daniel started to make some sort of shake. "Are you putting grass in a blender there?". Maja asked with a disgusted face. He burst into laughter as he saw her eyeing the green, droopy stuff inside of the blender.

"No, that's spinach. I don't think you want to taste this". Daniel chuckled and Maja shook her head. "I'll leave that up to you". The Australian easily threw the grass, she kept saying grass from now on, back in his throat and swallowed it without pulling a face.

"Good, now eat". Daniel put the plate on her spot at the table and Maja hopped off the counter to sit on the opposite of him. Maja almost dropped her fork as her phone rung and she searched for the thing before the call would end.

She found her phone at the charger and looked at the caller ID. "It's Albin". She said, biting her lip as she looked up at Daniel. Daniel shrugged as he had his mouth full. "You can answer if you want to".

Maja decided to just answer him, the confrontation would come anyway.

"Hi?". Maja said with a soft voice, not really wanting to talk to him. "Maja, I-I'm... I'm worried, are you... Where are you?". She heard his voice, the last question sounding a bit demanding and she hesitated about answering the truth.
