chapter 2

Abby’s alarm violently started buzzing on her nightstand to jostle her awake after her midnight fright. A closed fist slammed on the top of the device to shut it up. She rose from under the covers with her curly blonde hair obstructing her gorgeous face. A Meow greeted her as Lancelot pranced his way up to her side. She gracefully said, “And good morning to you too.” She turned to Kurt’s side of the bed to see it neatly tucked in and vacant. She exhaled and swung her muscular legs out from under the covers.

She got up from bed still both physically and mentally strained from the days gauntlet of dance lessons she had to instruct and running her dance studio. Today was the first day she would just be running her business and not teaching lesson after lesson. She walked to the bathroom and paused in front of the mirror with the vividness of her nightmare the night before still fresh in her mind. She started to brush her teeth and inspected her figure and face. Seeing her thin figure and face further calmed her nerves in regards to her unease after her nightmare.

Abby then got a quick hot shower and threw on a pair of khakis dress slacks and a sky blue sleeveless blouse showing off her figure and toned tan arms. Her heals clacked on the hardwood floors as she made it downstairs and to the kitchen. As Abby made it to the kitchen island and saw a note flush on the island counter top next to a plate of covered food and a cup of still warm tea. She scooped up the letter and started to read it.

Abby,

I couldn’t sleep after you woke me up, so I got up early and made breakfast and decided to get to the office a bit early today. I hope you are doing alright because you seemed really upset last night. Enjoy your first day of just doing mind numbing paperwork :)

Your Husband,
Kurt
P.S.-Made your favorite breakfast
P.P.S-Also fed the cat

Abby removed the cover on the plate to reveal a decent pile of large fresh strawberry Danishes. A smile grew on her face as she pulled up a seat and grabbed the pastry at the top of the pile. She brought the flakey pastry to her mouth and took a bight and the look of pure satisfaction appeared on her face. After the first two large divine pastries disappeared as Abby reached for a third but stopped and thought to herself, “ I literally just a dream where I was a disgusting overfed hog, and since I am not teaching today I won’t be as active as I normally am I should stop now two big pastries was one too much. You know what I can cut back on what I eat tomorrow.” She snagged another pastry and grabbed her bag and made her way to work.
