I stretched as I woke up from my cat nap. It seemed that was the only way that I was able to get any sleep as of late. I looked at the clock and sighed when I saw that it was only 4 in the morning. I went and made myself a cup of coffee and got onto my laptop. I was scouring the web for a place to stay because I had just moved. I suppose I should introduce myself. I am Iris Williams. I have just moved from the United States to London in order to make a fresh start and to get away from my past. Some things happened that I would rather not disclose. I was planning on going to see a friend of mine later who was currently living in London. I had the money to move into where ever I wanted to but I would rather not take more than what I needed. I saw what money had done to the rest of my family and I didn't want that to happen to me. I glanced at the clock and decided that I wanted to go out for breakfast. I went and got dressed in my slacks, black button up shirt, and my boots with a short heel. As I walked out the door I grabbed my trench coat and red infinity scarf and hailed a cab.

I walked into the little café and ordered a coffee while I waited for Molly; she was a pathologist at a nearby hospital and she said she knew someone who might be interested in sharing a flat with me. I was taking a sip of my coffee as she walked in the door. She animatedly waved at me as she walked over. I smiled softly and said, "Good morning dearie. It's been a while since we last saw each other." My eyes scanned over her taking in every detail as they did. She had put on a bright red lipstick in order to impress whoever it was we are going to see as well as pulling her hair up. There was a bandage around her hand where she had burned it earlier that morning most likely on her kettle based on the tea stain on her shirt. She appeared to be in good health and had rosy check not just from the blush that she put on. She gave me a hug and then sat down across from me. She said, "Indeed it has. It's been what now three or four years?" "Four. And how has life been treating you since then?" I asked. "Good, everything is pretty much the same. And how about you?" She replied. "I'm fine," I said despite the fact that both of us knew that it was a lie. "Let's go meet your new flat mate," She said as she grabbed my hand and we walked out of the café. I stopped and held the door open for a sandy haired man with a cane despite the fact that he held an air of he could do things on his own. He smiled and nodded and I walked to catch up with Molly.

Thank you for checking out my story. This is the first story that I am posting and I hope to post once a week. I'm going to be working on writing longer chapters as well. I hope you liked it and please send in a review about what you think. Love much, Iris.
