"Good morning" Arabella greeted Everly as she walked into the kitchen to see her staring out the kitchen window with coffee in hand. She was gently sipping from the cup."Oh, good morning darling would you like a cup of coffee?" Everly asked turning to face her."Yes, but I will make a cup for myself instead, you can just continue to enjoy the view," Arabella asked walking to the coffee machine to get started."Oh thank you, I just love staring out the window this early in the morning," Everly said tilting her head as if she was looking at a famous painting."I guess the landscape is somewhere worth watching" Arabella replied looking out the window briefly before returning to her coffee.'You are up early today"Everly commented."Unfortunately I can't really rest today as I want to do some reading and research but I can't seem to focus on the room" Arabella told her.She had been up for a while now but had found it hard

"I found this cute place in town where they serve various varieties of breakfast," Everly said with excitement. "Oh really have you been there before?" Arabella asked. She was careful and so she did not like trying new things."No, but it would be a fun thing to do, don't you think so?" Everly asked."I guess" Everly could hear the doubt in the voice of Arabella."You don't like trying new things do you?" Everly asked turning to her."Is it obvious?" Arabella said with a nervous chuckle. "Your eyes dilated, your hands shook on the wheel and I could see your body tense up," Everly said. Arabella turned to her with widened eyes shocked she was able to get all that information in such a short time."I am a mom, we know these things," she said when she saw her stare. "You might be afraid to try new things but I want you to try this place and see for yourself" Arabella nodded. What else did she have to be afraid o

Arabella had a good time at the restaurant and she was glad she overlooked her fear and ate there. As she drove in the music-filled car with the occasional lip sync from Everly from time to time she thought of how she needed to do something about Kieran's sudden outburst.If her presence was somehow disturbing them she needed to do something to stop it, but she needed to talk to him as soon as she got home. She did not want him to think that she was after his kind of life.She sent a text to him telling him to meet her in the garden outside so she could trash out whatever it was that she needed to before she went inside. He had seen and read the text but he did not respond."Home sweet home" Everly exclaimed as she drove into the driveway."Thank you so much for today," Arabella said as she parked the car and took off her seat belt. "I should be the one to thank you" Everly cut in before she could let out another word. "I would have been

Arabella rolled in bed as she could not take her mind off what Kieran had said. She could hear it so clearly that it was like her mind was replaying the scene over and over again.'I am quite interested in you so I don't think I can stay out of your business'"Interested in me? What does that mean?" she muttered to herself as she sat up straight in bed. Maybe her mind was not working because she was lying down."Maybe I should have asked him what he meant and not allowed him to walk away like he had not just dropped a bomb on me" "What did he mean?" she mumbled to herself again.Her eyes darted to the alarm clock by her bedside. She had only four more hours before she had to be up and out so she could go to work.She wondered why her mind did not play this truck on her while it was day. It has to wait till night and then keep her awake all night.She knew that she would be so exhausted at work and she would probably mak

"You are late" Aurora said as soon as she came into the office."I have no excuse," Arabella said immediately. There was no need for her to begin to beg for forgiveness and understanding, all she needed to do was accept her fault so that Aurora could get off her back.Aurora was thrown off for a second because she had expected her to make excuses. "Don't be late next time" she said before walking away as quickly as she could.Chole waved over to her and Arabella skipped to her. "You are usually early? What happened today?" Chole asked as she sat in her seat."The weirdest thing happened to me, I overslept even past my alarm," she said and Chole gasped.Arabella had never been one who found it difficult to wake up in the morning except she had had a hard time going down to bed."I am shocked you were able to tame her, She had been waiting for you all morning just to give you an earful. I wonder what generation she thinks we are. how ca
