The sun peeking through her window seemed harsher than usual. With a groan, Fi squeezed her eyes shut, turning over to her other side to snuggle with the warm body beside her. She frowned when she realized he wasn't there. Yawning, she sat up and looked around. Maybe he was in the kitchen, making breakfast for the two of them. She smiled in anticipation of a Spanish omelet, egg whites only, and pulled herself out of bed. She grabbed the men's t-shirt lying on the edge of the bed and slipped it over her head.

But he wasn't in the kitchen.

Maybe the shower? Fi liked that idea. Maybe she could join him.

But he wasn't there either.

A strange hard feeling was settling in her stomach by now as she searched the apartment for him. Where had he gone? He hadn't headed out to work yet, had he? No, he wouldn't leave her behind without waking her up. Or at least leaving a note…

It took Fi awhile to realize some of his things were missing. A toothbrush, a couple suits, a couple handguns. Slowly, slowly, it started to sink in.

Michael had left. He had left her without a word.

A/N: I love reviewers and live for constructive criticism!
