She stretched and rolled over, reaching a hand out to Markus. When her hand landed on the bed, she turned to see that he was gone. She listened, but there was no sound of him anywhere else in the apartment. Maritess rose, confused, and a little jaded. She got up and put some clothes on so that she could walk Tike. She poured some food in his bowl while she downed a glass of water in the kitchen. Anger was beginning to replace the concern she initially felt when she noticed he was gone.

As Maritess went to reach for the leash on a hook, the door opened. Markus walked in holding a box of doughnuts and a handful of daisies. She smiled, shook her head and rolled her eyes at him. Markus smiled back, and leaned down to kiss her. She let his lips press against hers, and breathed through the jolt of happiness it sent through her. He set the doughnuts down on the counter, and Maritess looked at them.
