Blissful. That was the one word Trinity never thought she would ever use in regard to her life. But that was exactly what it had been for the past two and a half months- completely and utterly blissful.Dmitri and Trinity's relationship was as good as it could get. Being together had come easily for them, almost as if that is how it was always meant to be. They even slept in the same bed now, sleeping and doing much more together each night. They had gone on a lot of dates after the first one- some as simple as a movie night and dinner while others as extravagant as a hot air balloon ride. Life with Dmitri was everything Trinity could ever ask for and more. It was like staying with your best friend, only she loved him and they could kiss, cuddle and do much more when they felt like it. And that in Trinity's opinion was the best kind of relationship to have.They'd even attended quite a few par

 To say that Trinity was completely hammered after three drinks would be an understatement because the woman was beyond hammered.  "Dmitri," she called out to him loudly, even though he was sitting right next to her. "Yes, milaya?" Trinity giggled. "I love that you call me milaya. I didn't realize what it meant until Angela told me one day. You're the sweetest, Dmitri." Dmitri chuckled. "I know I am. Only for you, though." "Geez, I know you guys are happy together but no need it to rub it in our faces," Tyler muttered almost moodily. Dmitri laughed. "It's not my fault she's such a sappy drunk." "I'm not drunk," Trinity announced loudly, making the three of them turn to her, their expressions amused. "You are, Trinity. Can you even tell me how many fingers I'm holding up right now?" Tyler asked, clear

 A week passed, which Trinity spent planning Dmitri's upcoming birthday party. Usually, it was his mum who planned everything for his birthday but this time around Trinity had taken it upon herself to plan it all out. His birthday was just the next day and everything for the party was prepared. Between preparing for the party and studying on the side, what had happened the day they'd gone to the club opening was all but forgotten. Besides, Jack hadn't found anything particularly suspicious either. So Trinity had decided to forget all about it and focus on the party.  The party wasn't exactly a surprise. Dmitri knew already that there'd be a birthday party the day of his birthday. He also knew that Trinity was the one who was planning it this time around. But still Trinity had taken care not to let any of the details regarding it slip out.  She wanted the day to be as exciting and surprising for him

"Hey, Case, by when will you be here?" Trinity said into the phone, as she got ready. It was a few months after Dmitri's birthday and Casey and her had planned to go for a girl's day out, just the two of them, since they hadn't had one of those in what felt like forever. "I'll be there in a few. I'm on my way over.""Case! How many times do I need to tell you not to talk on the phone while driving?" Trinity chastised her best friend."Chill, Tri. It's on speaker. My eyes are on the road. Are you ready yet?" Casey asked and Trinity could almost feel her rolling her eyes."I'm ready. How long-" Trinity cut off abruptly as she heard a loud scream on the other before the line went dead."Casey?! Case? Hello?" Trinity shouted into the phone, terrified for her friend.She quickly called her again only for it go straight to voicemail.

Over the next week or so, they all worked as a unit to help Casey out as much as they could.They made sure someone was with Casey at all times in case she needed anything. Tina, Angela and Joy came to visit often enough too. Even Valéry, Stefan and the twins had come to check up on Casey too.As grateful as Casey was for all the love and attention everyone was showering her with, she was starting to get increasingly irritated, specially by her best friend who seemed to have taken up permanent residence next to her bed."Why won't you leave me alone? God, you've been here practically 24×7 for the past seven days. Don't you have a home to go?" Casey rolled her eyes. And yes, she could actually do it without her head exploding in pain now. The bandage wrapped around her head was gone, so was the swelling around her eye and she could actually open both her eyes now. The only things remaining were the plasters on her arm and
