The blaring noise of the alarm woke Vanessa up with a start. She turned over to switch off the unbearable roar coming from her alarm clock, noticing how early in the morning it was, groaning as she remembered who was returning to the village that day...
Rhona.
Vanessa rolled out of bed and made her way downstairs, only to be greeted by the smell of burnt bacon, cooked to death by her new boyfriend, Adam Barton.
"I now see what people mean when they say men don't belong in the kitchen!" Vanessa laughed.
"My cooking isn't that bad!" Adam retaliated, knowing full well how terrible his cooking was.
Vanessa scoffed and turned up her nose as Adam handed her a plate of practically inedible food.
"What's your plans for today?" Adam curiously asked.
"Nothing" Vanessa replied swiftly as she got up to leave.
"Nothing at all?"
"No…"
Adam placed a hand on Vanessa's shoulder and spoke softly.
"I know Rhona's back today"
Vanessa sighed as she looked into her boyfriend's eyes.
"I know, I'm ok honestly"
"I hope so! I have to go but we'll catch up later yeah"
"Ok" Vanessa smiled before kissing Adam goodbye.
