The sun streamed through the white linen curtains and its beams hit Claudia in the eyes. Rolling over she saw the space beside her empty. Sitting up quickly she reached for something to put on. When she opened the door and came into the hallway she smelt coffee brewing and muttering from downstairs. She went into the kitchen to find Nick trying to work an ancient looking toaster. But right now it kept popping up un-toasted bread. After a few minutes Nick realized that someone was watching him. He turned around and looked embarrassed.

"Having some trouble?" she asked and smiled at him.

"Well now that you mention it... no I think I can make toast on my own." Nick answered and turned around trying to fiddle with the machine.

"However." he said not looking up "You can get the mugs down for coffee, their on the second shelf first cabinet."

Claudia reached for the mugs and didn't notice Nick turn back to face her she was wearing a button up of his and every time she reached for the mugs it rode up a little. Nick smiled before turning back to the toaster. Pressing down on the lever it took him a second to realize that the hopper staid down.

"Ha told you I could do it!" he quipped before moving out of the way to show Claudia the cooking toast.

"Amazing you can make toast impressive."

"it is impressive this toaster first one I ever got 1980!"

"And you still have it?"

"Still works doesn't it!" Claudia gave him a look before grabbing the coffee pot and pouring it into the two cups

"Don't answer that.'

Claudia smiled and in a few moments the toast was done. The pair sat down at Nicks kitchen table and. ate their meal. All Nick could think of was how much better it felt to be eating with someone and someone who he cared about so bloody much. Claudia though hair mussed and makeup smeared looked radiant to hi and maybe it was the sun streaming in from behind her that caught the auburn tint in her hair or maybe it was that she seamed so different from the office. She seamed relaxed and happy. All to soon the meal was done and the dishes were tossed in the sink

"I really think I should go Nick." she stood up and when she walked past his chair she felt a pair of arms grab her. Soon she found herself in Nick's lap

"Nick your acting like a child!" She exclaimed and tried to get up when he pulled her down again. Giving up she turned to face him and just in his face she saw someone different. For once he didn't seem like the eccentric mad scientist that she had known at work. His face seemed softer and his brow not furrowed. He leaned in and kissed her. Which she quite happily returned.

"I need to get back to my house." Claudia said once she pulled away from Nick. Reluctantly Nick released her and Claudia went upstairs to change. When she came back downstairs he handed her the purse that was thrown in the hall the night before.

"Don't worry I'll see you soon" Claudia told Nick when she stepped outside. He grinned and kissed her before she went to her car. He watched as she pulled out of the driveway and down the street. When he turned to go back in the house he noticed one of his neighbors an elderly man looked at him with an eyebrow raised. Nick just smiled and went back inside.

And in a tree in his yard a woman clad in army green clothes looked before a sickeningly evil grin appeared on her face. Then she was gone.
