Cory has just awakened from her dream is now getting ready for work.
Cory is stiff due to the fact that she has just awakened. She stretches. She then gives out a huge yawn. Cory is still very tired due to a pretty much sleepless night.
"All this worrying is not good for me," she thinks as she prepares to get in the shower.
She continues.
"I can't get any sleep. I have to tell him, soon. I can't let this fear of his reaction control my life. I'll tell him as soon as I can."
Cory gets all cleaned up and dressed for work. She decides to get some breakfast. Not too much, just a something to feed the baby.
"Can't start too early. Wanna make sure that this one is nice and healthy."
She chooses a banana and eats it on the way out of the door.
Cory arrives to work and acts as if it is any other day. She doesn't want to let anyone get the idea that she is having any kind of problems. She walks in and notices that not too many of the other officers are in yet.
'Good, nobody is here yet. Maybe, I'll tell him now while nobody is around," she says to herself.
Just then, Russ and Jamie walk in.
"Hey, Sarge," says Russ.
"Hello, Granger," she replies.
"Yea, how was your day off? It had to be better than our day, yesterday. We were completely swamped with paperwork," Jamie adds.
Then, noticing the seemingly endless pile on Cory's desk, she quickly adds, "Never mind. I see you've got your work cut out for you today."
Nodding at Russ, she states, "We'll get outta your way so you can do that."
Cory begins to reply with a thank you but it immediately cut off by Russ.
"We've got to go out on patrol now anyway, later."
"Okay, you do that," says Cory trying to sound less relieved that they were leaving than she actually was feeling. "...and I'll get started on this."
Jamie and Russ grab their helmets, gloves, bikes, and head out the door. Finally, Cory is able to get started on her work. She is able to complete several reports. She is about halfway done with the stack on desk and decides to take a lunch break. Just then, Monica walks in and with the way her luck was going, Cory knew that she was headed in her direction. She addresses Monica as calmly as she can although, she is starting to get really irritated at the fact that she had not had two seconds to herself since she arrived that morning.
"Morning Cory," Monica begins in her oh-so-perky-sorta voice.
"It's Sergeant," Cory replies.
"Oh, I just figured that we were friends now. You know, since Chris left and we got the chance to hang out."
"I'm sorry, Harper," Cory apologetically. "I didn't mean to make you think that. I'm just having a bad day. I just need a moment to collect my thoughts but I haven't been able to be alone with my thought since I got here."
"Uhm, okay. I just need to ask you one small favor."
"Okay, but only if you do one for me as well...don't let anyone else interrupt me. Just tell them that I am too busy to talk so unless it is important, it will have to wait. Okay?"
"Okay. Now, to my favor. I was kinda hoping that you could..." She pauses, slightly nervous with fear of rejection to her request. "Never mind, it's not important. I'll ask you later."
"There is no later. I told you that I need time to collect my thoughts. What is it, Harper?" Cory asks with great interest as to what Monica could have to say that would make her so anxious."
"It's kinda silly and it has nothing to do with work." Monica admits.
"Just say it."
"Okay, I was wanting to know if we could switch places for the night. I kinda told this guy that I live in an apartment cause I can't afford a house..." She continues before Cory can say anything. "and you're probably wondering why I said this so, I know it is so juvenile, but he told me that he likes to feel needed. So, I figured he would buy me stuff if I made it look like I couldn't afford them."
Cory thinks to herself, "all this is so strange. Maybe this is fate. I mean, I have been needing to talk with T.C. and Harper does live right next door to him. Maybe this is fate's way of helping me to get this over with. I need to just tell him."
"It's a deal," she finally answers after concluding her thoughts on the matter.
I know it doesn't have much action and it might be a little out of character for the two of them but I'm trying to find some way to lead into the "revelation" without going straight to the point. I'm sorry that it took so long for me to add another entry but I really don't have much of an imagination when it comes to this sort of thing. I actually just wrote the first one with no idea that people would actually respond to it. I probably won't write very many chapters. I just felt like I should find some kind of resolution for it since people actually read it. It will probably be a while before I add another entry.
