Fareeha's eyes flickered open as she looked to the side. Angela slept peacefully, facing Fareeha. She smiled, pulling Angela's hair back. Angela groaned, throwing an arm on Fareeha, pulling her towards herself and hugging her. Fareeha giggled. She guessed Angela thought she was her pillow or something. Her eyes flickered open as she saw Fareeha's bright white smile. "Good morning, my angel~" She said, kissing her on the cheek. Angela pushed her face away. "It's too early.." She groaned. Fareeha giggled, pecking her on the nose. Angela pulled the blanket closer to her, stealing it from Fareeha. "Hey!"she giggled, sitting up. "I'm going to make some coffee, alright?" Angela nodded slightly. Fareeha smiled softly, exiting the room. Angela sat up, looking at her bedside table. Books after books, all that which Angela had read. She had pulled out an album. She opened it, flipping it to the first page. She sighed, softly as she flipped through the pages of old pictures before Overwatch was recalled. She wished Fareeha was there. Well, she was, but she wasn't an agent. She had such good memories. Ana, Winston, Reinhardt..Everyone was there. She missed the old times. When everything was alright. When the Reaper didn't exist. A tear fell on the picture as she shut the book. She wiped another one away, putting the album away. She took a deep breath, standing up. She walked out and went downstairs.

Fareeha leaned back in her chair until she heard a knock on her door. She answered it. "It has been a very long time, my friend!" Zarya chuckled. "Zarya! Oh, it's so great to see you!" Fareeha hugged her. She was lucky that half of her friends were visiting Switzerland. "I'm actually here for a mission, but we have a 1 day break so I decided to visit you!" She said, with a huge grin. "Really? How did you get my address?" Fareeha asked. "Actually..I forgot her name.. what was it..Oh yes, Angela!  Angela told me since she had recognized me." Fareeha laughed. "Of course she did." Zarya walked in, settling on the couch. "So, planning to hit the gym today?" She asked. "Why not?" Fareeha shrugged, sitting beside Zarya. Zarya cracked up a grin, nudging Fareeha slightly. "Hm?" "Have you settled with someone nice?" Fareeha looked down. "Well, you see...I, uhm.." "Don't be shy, my friend!" Zarya patted her shoulder. Fareeha sighed. "Well, that Angela woman is my girlfriend." Zarya cackled. "Oh, congratulations!" Fareeha snickered. "How about you?" Zarya shook her head. "Not yet, but I believe I might have a..crush." Fareeha chuckled. "How's about we hit the gym now?" She asked. Zarya nodded in response as they got ready afterwards.

"That was a nice workout, Zarya." Fareeha said, grabbing her towel. "It sure was, my friend." She said, wrapping her own towel around her neck. "Well, I'll be on my way. See you!" Fareeha said, jogging out of the gym to her car. She checked her phone. A missed call from Angela. She quickly dialed her phone number as she starting driving off. "Hello?" Angela answered. "Angela, you called earlier. Is everything alright?" "Oh yes, everything is fine. Just wanted to check up on you. Are you on your way home?" She asked. "Actually, I'm planning to go to your place tonight." Fareeha said, parking her car. "Oh, great! See you then!" Fareeha smiled softly. "Mhm." She hung up, walking towards the entrance of Angela's apartment. She quickly ran up to her floor, walking in. "I'm home~" Fareeha giggled. "Welcome home, schatz." Angela smiled, reaching for her apron. Fareeha snuck up behind her, hugging her from behind. Angela laughed, resting her head on Fareeha's shoulder. "Did you miss me?" She asked. "Who wouldn't?" Fareeha pressed her lips softly against Angela's. She pulled back shortly after. Angela smiled softly as Fareeha tied her apron. "Jeez, Fareeha, you're so romantic." They giggled. "Anyways, I'll be leaving tomorrow, I'll be gone for a week." Angela said. Fareeha frowned. "Aw.." Fareeha's face lit up. "Actually, do you want to go see mother?" Angela gasped slightly. "We're allowed seeing her?" Fareeha nodded. "Well, actually, maybe tomorrow? You seem very tired." Angela said. "Oh, your so nice Angie." Angela chuckled. "Well, goodnight then, I'll be there in a moment." "Mhm." Fareeha jogged upstairs, walking into Angela's room. She laid down, sighing. She pulled out the same album that Angela was looking at earlier. "How can she look at this without crying.." She whispered to herself, flipping to a picture with Angela, her mother and herself. She smiled sadly, looking at her mother's face. "I miss you.." She whispered to herself, her eyes watering. She took a deep breath as Angela opened the door. "Fareeha? Are you alright?" Angela sat beside Fareeha, hugging her as she saw the picture. Fareeha glanced at Angela. "Thank you.." "I'll always be here, my eagle."
