The sobering smell of freshly grounded coffee wafted through the room, making Rose feel that little more human. As the footsteps on the stairs drew closer to the room Rose shut her eyes, pretending to be still asleep.
She made out the noise of the door had awoken her, "Morning" she said filling her voice with that lingering sleep.
"How's your head?" Emmet asked placing a breakfast tray on the desk.
"Hurts" she replied, "Look about last night, I'm- er- did we-"
Emmet smiled, shaking his head. Surprisingly Rose was relieved at this, even for her if she had actually slept with Emmet and not remembered it wouldn't be dignified.
"Oh good, I am sure I would have remembered something like that" she winked. "Is there any of that coffee going spare?"
"Yes, I didn't know if you wanted coffee or juice, so I brought you both" he handed Rose the tray before putting on his tie.
"And toast too, why are you being so nice to me? I must have drunk a considerable amount of vodka and when I do I usually make an utter fool out of meself." Rose said rather embarrassedly.
"Not an utter fool, after last night I think it is best you eat something; only don't be long as I have to get to work and I don't really want Hyacinth seeing you sneak out."
"Emmet, are you ashamed of me?" Rose joked, spreading a thick even layer of raspberry jam on her toast.
He laughed, "We don't have anything to be ashamed of but you know Hyacinth she will make a mountain out of this molehill."
"That's our Hyacinth alright, do you mind if I use your shower after I have had me breakfast?"
"No, just make it quick I have to leave for work in half an hour."
"Oh that's no problem, I ought to attempt to sell some jewellery today, seen as I seem to be the only one in our house who is familiar with the art of work."
