(A/N: So sorry for the long wait in updating, school became very busy for me. Here's the second chapter, and I apologize in advance for its crappiness. I was just really desperate to get a new chapter out there.)
"Morning, angel." Brad said to his wife.
Janet slowly opened her eyes to realize that both she and Brad had fallen asleep on the sofa last night. Looking over at her husband, she smiled as she stretched her arms around him and gave him a good morning kiss.
"Morning, love." she said.
"I'm glad to see you slept good." Brad said to her.
"Yeah, no nightmares this time. I'm happy." Janet replied.
"Allright, babe. I'm gonna make us a quick breakfast today, how does that sound?" Brad asked.
"Sounds lovely." Janet said and gave him another quick kiss on the lips.
As Brad strolled into the kitchen, Janet picked up the remote from the coffee table and turned on the TV. The local news channel immediately appeared on screen. Janet snuggled up underneath her blanket while watching the reporter talk about some car accident that had happened the previous night. Brad, meanwhile, was in the kitchen making a simple egg and sausage breakfast, one of the couple's favorites.
"You want your eggs done the usual, Janet?" Brad called from the kitchen.
"Yes dear, sunny side up." Janet called back.
Janet continued to watch the reporter talk about how the car had hid the guardrail on the road and flipped over. There were some minor injuries and one passenger had a broken leg, but no one was hurt. Janet weakly smiled, happy that no one was hurt in this accident.
"I wish I wasn't hurt at all in that horrible castle, then I wouldn't be like this." she whispered to herself.
Truth be told, Janet couldn't understand why Brad had been able to move on so easily from that nightmarish adventure of theirs and she couldn't. Unless Brad still had his moments of remembrance of that night and just never told Janet, she was pretty impressed with him. She was also impressed with the fact that he had incredible patience with her whenever she slipped back into one of her moments of having nightmares and horrible daydreams. Then again, he was the love of her life and had always treated her like a queen.
"Brad darling, I'm getting hungry." Janet said as she stood up from the couch and made her way into the kitchen.
"You're just in time, Janet. Food's ready." Brad said, pointing to the two plates he had set on the small table in their kitchen.
Janet took her seat at the kitchen table and began enjoying the simple, yet lovely breakfast Brad had prepared.
"So Brad, anything interesting you want to do today?" Janet asked between bites of her food.
"Well, I was thinking we could go visit Dr. Scott today." Brad said.
"Ok, any reason why?" Janet asked.
"He's our good friend, Janet. Plus visiting him would be better than staying in the apartment all day. I don't have to work at all today." Brad said.
"Ok, love. We'll leave after we eat." Janet said.
And after the couple finished eating, they quickly got dressed and drove in their small car down to Dr. Scott's small house, which was a good half hour drive from where they lived. It was very hard for Janet to travel this route though, as it was the exact same route they had taken two years ago when their car tire had gone flat and they had hoped to find help in the castle which turned out to belong to Dr. Frankenfurter.
"Now Janet, just relax and you'll be fine. That castle is no longer there." Brad reminded her.
"I know Brad darling, I know." Janet said as they drove down that road toward Dr. Scott's house for their visit.
