~ LARK ~
Waking up alone, even though she’d expected it, was hard. She felt immediately lonely, which was ridiculous. She’d been waking alone every morning for her whole life until a little over a week earlier. But the logic didn’t change her heart. Lark sighed. She wanted JP there, his warm strength at her back. Of course, she was also so tired…
She lay in bed on her phone for almost an hour, but then finally dragged herself up to shower and dress. He’d said not to expect him back until close to lunch, so she was surprised when she heard him return to the apartment just after she got dressed. He stepped very quietly at first, obviously thinking she might still be asleep, but his steps relaxed when he heard her moving towards him.
Lark felt silly, but she rushed to the door of the bed
