Chie yawned letting her slightly groggy state. Looking to the night stand on her right, she saw that the time was 4:30 AM, a few hours before she'd have to be to work at the police station. Sitting up and stretching her arms, she reluctantly removed herself from the person who was clinging to her in his sleep. Her husband Yosuke Hanamura, who unconsciously clutched at the loss of heat. Part of her wanted to get back into the bed and stay connected to him, but she had a job to do. Walking into the bathroom she striped out of her cloths and took a quick soak in the bath.

"Well only a few more days until my time off." Chie said thinking of how nice it will be to not have to get up before Yosuke, closing her eyes she got up from the bath dried off and got dressed. Putting on her coat Chie let out another tired sigh. Police work was a strange to say the least, but she enjoyed it, it allowed her to live up to what her Persona embodied, her want to protect everyone, especially those she loved. Arriving at the precinct at her usual time of 5:30 she took a deep breath and headed inside.

"Morning Satonaka, up an early per usual." She heard her superior an older officer by the name of Yadama Fujimaro said to her as she stepped inside the office, saluting her superior Chie awaited her orders for today. "Hmm, looks like you'll be patrolling the shopping district today." Fujimaro said. Nodding Chie prepared herself and made her way to the shopping district.

By the time her lunch break had came around Chie had done much of nothing, she had walked around, gave directions a few times to some lost people and helped an older woman carry her groceries, but aside from that she was bored out of her mind. She was about to head to Aiya's, until she got a call on her cell phone. Picking it up she knew immediately who it was.

"Hey, Yosuke." Chie said glad to talk to him this time of day. She could hear the loud bustle of people in the background indicating he was probably still at work at Junes, "So, what's up?" Chie asked as she took a moment to sit down at a bench to rest her feet.

"Nothing much, just called to invite you over to Junes for lunch." Yosuke said waiting a few seconds for Chie to give her response. Thinking for a moment she did like Aiya's, but she also didn't 'mind the food at Junes.

"Sure, be there in a bit." Chie said as she hung up the phone. Junes wasn't that far from the shopping district, so it would not take her much time to get there. Inside the food court she saw Youske sitting down at a table, two plates of food all ready and waiting to be eaten.

"Hey, glad you could make it." Yosuke said as Chie took the seat opposite of him, "I even picked out your favorite dish." Yosuke said as he pointed to the seared steak, that laid on the plate for Chie, leaning over to give her husband a kiss, much to Yosuke's embarrassment she began to dig in.

"So, how was work today?" Chie asked as she swallowed down some of her steak, patently awaiting Yosuke's answer. He sighed and placed his head down on the table, "That bad huh?" Chie asked as she patted Yosuke's head.

"Flash sales are murder." Yosuke said as he raised his head back up. Being the manager of a department store, was probably more trouble than it was worth sometimes, "Did you at least have a better day than I did?" Yosuke asked hoping that his wife was better off than he was today. When she shook her head he groaned.

"Yep, though mines was just boring. I guess that's a good thing." Chie said finishing her meal. In record time she might add, "Well I got to go, I'll see you when I get home later tonight." Chie said as she kissed Yosuke goodbye and departed to finish her patrol. The rest of her patrol was uneventful as the beginning, which she was again thankful for. Returning home she saw Yosuke was in the kitchen preparing dinner.

"I'm back!" Chie shouted as she set food inside the house, kicking off her shoes and removing her police cap from her head and placing it on the table near the door. Yosuke turned his head and gave her a warm smile as she sat down at the table in their living room.

"Man, patrolling is the worst sometimes." Chie said as she stretched out a bit letting the kinks in her back. While boring patrols were nice, they still were murder on her legs sometimes.

"Yeah, I hear you." Yosuke said as he sat down holding two plates of food, and two cans of beer under his arm, placing the plate in front of Chie and handing her a beer. Pulling the tab and taking a drink of the beer and letting the alcohol wash away her stress from that day.

"Well, hopefully when your time off comes around, we can head over to Yukiko's Inn and enjoy a week away." Yosuke said, thinking how nice it would be to just the two of them enjoy a nice week away from work and anything that would be stressful.

"How you managed to get our times off to connect, I'll never know, but I'm glad you did." Chie said giving him a small smile. The two talked about their days, and how stressful their times at work were, eating and drinking.

"Well, I'm gonna head in early today, got a long day ahead of me tomorrow." Chie said as she kissed Yosuke on the cheeks while he was putting away the newly washed dishes. Nodding Yosuke turned his attention back to the dishes. Looking at the calendar on the wall, with a day marked as "Vacation" he smiled, they both needed a break, especially Chie and he couldn't wait to give it to her.
