Sarah awoke from a restless sleep inside of Seth's embrace. At the end of the bed sat a loyal Zeus, beating his tail from side to side at the sight of another awake soul apart from himself and Chester. Her pearl eyes cast themselves upon the chrome alarm clock.

"Shit." She muttered to herself after reading the time on the clock. Her and Seth had over slept, when they should have been in to work at 11am it was already 12pm. She groaned loudly to herself, waking Seth up in the process.

"Morning hun." Seth grumbled, pulling her onto her back and crushing his lips against hers. Zeus jumped from the bottom of the bed and rushed out of the room – sensing that what had happened last night in the shower might happen again.

"You know, we're late for work."

"Ah, I own the program. I can be late a few times... hopefully!"

Sarah softly giggled then climbed out of Seth's iron-like grip. She stretched her arms casually above her head and heard a low wolf whistle escape from Seth.

She turned on the ball of her heels to see Seth sitting cross legged in bed, biting onto his lower lip and running his tongue along the bite marks. Sarah exhaled wearily, rolled her eyes, then turned to the wardrobe and began pulling some clothes out for the day ahead.

Over night she had thought out her plan for the day. Even if she had to drag Seth into work, she would get him in. Today she had to tell him what had been on her mind ever since they'd started dating. But not as her boyfriend, as her boss.

The pair pulled into the FOX building at 12:30, flashing cameras also announced their arrival. The duo were creating a sudden paparazzi storm wherever they were together. And these days they were constantly together.

Seth rolled his eyes as the questions came flying at them. He wrapped his arm protectively around Sarah's shoulders and ushered her quietly inside the building.

"Morning!" Mila chimed, putting her hand in the way of the closing lift doors. She seemed in a brightened spirit as she jumped inside the lift and started ranting to Seth about the latest series. All the while Seth kept his hand linked tightly with Sarah's, occasionally rubbing his thumb across along her index finger. The pair talked all the way to Seth and Sarah's floor.

They all stepped out of the lift and Mila went her own way.

"Speak to you later Mila." Seth called back over his shoulder.

Seth gave Sarah a goodbye kiss and went through the double doors into his office, his laptop bag hanging from his shoulder.

"Seth!" Sarah cried, forcing herself to 'man up' and talk to him about what was on her mind.

"Hmm?"

"Can I talk to you for a minute?" Sarah asked, leaning herself in the doorway of his office, almost inviting herself in. Seth nodded, not looking up from his paperwork.

She took a deep breath then sat down in one of the two chairs in front of his desk.

"Seth. I'm quitting."

Seth's gaze shot up to meet Sarah's firm eyes. He tilted his head to one side and allowed the confusion to leak out of him.

"W-Wha-wh... Why?"

"Er. Working at FOX was a dream come true but I feel it's time for me to move on from here. And if you were my actual boss and not my boyfriend you would have fired me for the amount of times I'd been late... I already know what I want to do! That's no problem."

Sarah's eyes were brimming with glee whereas Seth's were full of hurt.

"But I won't see you everyday." He whined, taking her hand across the table and rubbing the back of it.

"You will though, when you get home from work!"

He rolled his eyes at her and nodded slowly. He picked up a pair of glasses that lay abandoned on his desk and pushed them roughly onto his face.

"What will you do?" Seth asked, peering from beneath his glasses.

"A stay at home author..."

"Sarah. If that's what you want then you can go. You're free to do what you want."

Sarah nodded and whispered, "Thanks." and as she was walking out of the door she turned on her heel and muttered, "I like you with glasses." then she left.

Sarah arrived home just short of 3pm. She had run down to the local library and purchased some tattered copies of her favourite books – Shadows of the Apt, Broken Harbour.

When she arrived home she collapsed on the sofa where Zeus soon joined her. For an hour she happily read her the first in a series and listened to the calm music that was 'Matthew Morrison' through her earphones.

Once she had gotten to the most exciting part in the book, she set it down next to her and began to fuss Zeus.

"Ah, my boy... What am I going to do?"

Zeus stared up at his owner with a longing in his eyes for food. Sarah rolled her eyes at him and spoke softly.

"I get the point... food first!"

After getting Zeus dinner Sarah leant against the work surface, eating her own chicken that she had prepared. What am I going to do? Should I have really quit? Ah, I don't know... I do know that this chicken is off though!

While she had been lost in thought she had not seen that what she was eating was closer to raw than cooked. Blood sat proudly pumping still in the chicken.

"Oh jeez!" Sarah spat, pushing away the plate and rushing up stairs to the bathroom.

For the rest of the day Sarah had her head over the bathroom toilet. Whenever she attempted to get up and leave her stomach though otherwise. She had only just managed to tie her hair up in an elastic band before her stomach decided to throw up whatever was left in there.

"Sarah?"

"I'm...up... he-" Sarah never got to finish her sentence, her stomach spoke for her.

She heard footsteps echoing up the stairs and then in the doorway appeared a very flustered Seth. Sweat bead dripped down his face.

"Deary me, are you okay honey?" Seth said rushing forward to pat her on the back. Sarah raised her eyebrows and spoke in a quiet voice.

"I'm having to keep my sarcasm down as well as my stomach lining now!"

Seth chuckled gently, while slowly rubbing her back.

"Have you taken any tablets yet dear?"

"None."

"I'll get you some." And with that Seth sprinted out of the room and down towards the medicine cabinet. He returned just a few moments later with bottles and packets of pills in his arms. He dumped them down on the floor, then he sat cross legged on the floor and began to sort through any that might be of use.

"What have you eaten?"

"Just some chicken, but it was a bit raw..." Sarah stared into the bowl shamefully. Seth shook his head and then handed her a couple of different coloured tablets. She took them gratefully.

"Right. I have to go and sort out some paperwork, so can I trust you will stay in bed?" Asked Seth, pulling the covers up to Sarah's shoulders.

"Yes sir!" Chanted Sarah, as she tried and failed to hide a grin. Seth shook his head with a chuckle, kissed her forehead and then marched out of the room.
