A/N: I don't know if I really made this clear, or if I explained it oddly. Each chapter is a separate story. All the chapters are unrelated. So...if Ainsley dies one chapter, she'll be back in another. Did that help at all? And, this chapter, the title kind of applies. If it's not really all that obvious, the "hours" thing fits because Ainsley's waiting. For food.


vi. Hours

Bright blue eyes darting to and fro. A foot tapping against the leg of the table. Tap tap tap tap. Frustrated brown eyes gliding up to meet anxious blue ones.

"Saaaaaaaaam." The vaguest hint of a whine present within her voice. Weariness hiding behind eyes, skimming words on paper. "Sam." Short, concise. She begins to drum her fingernails against the table. Click click click click click.

"Ainsley," he grumbles. Quick, frantic, staccato clicks. Click click. Click click. He sighs. She stops.

"Saaaaaaam." He looks up.

"What?"

"You have to feed me, you know."

"I know." He waves for the waiter.
