Chapter 2 Morning
Laura woke up the next morning, her eye's blurry she saw that it was ten o'clock am.
She'd fallen asleep late last night around two, an hour after John left.
She lifted her head to look around the room, she'd fallen asleep ontop of her covers, with tissues in hand wet from her tears.
Laura made her way to the bathroom in her room to clean her face.
She noticed the dark circles and red puffyness around her eye's, she brushed ehr teeth, washed her face and headed down stairs to see if Mary was up.
Luara walked into the kitchen to see her daughter sitting at the table coloring and eating cereal.
"Morning mommy." Her voice chipper and sweet as usual.
"I drewed you a picture." A five years old typical speech was deeper then most in Mary. She brought it over for her mom to see then ran back and sat down on her chair.
The picture was of a puppy, a puppy which Mary had been wanting for a very long time.
Laura knew what her daughter was up to, so she hung it up on the fridge.
"That is a beautiful horse Mary."
"It's not a HORSE!" she exclaimed.
Laura smiled "Oh I see... it's a cow."
"MOM!" she was now cracking into a smile catching onto what her mom was doing.
"Can we please get a puppy PLEASE!" She pleaded
"No we can not get a puppy Mary not now."
Mary was about to make a rebutle, but Laura spoke before she could let the words out.
"Why don't we go to the park today? It's beautiful outside." Her voice in a sort of whisper, staring out the window at teh sun shining through the tall tree's.
"OK!" Mary said exited, now forgetting about the puppy argument.
"Ok go get dressed."
