It had been two days since Xavier had stopped by Raine's house to check on her. Raine was feeling much better now and the extra support from Xavier was helping her recover even faster. Xavier spared no expense in taking care of her. Whether it was making her soup, buying her medicine, or calling her every hour to make sure she was ok.
Although Xavier couldn't come by to spend the day with Raine yesterday, he called her periodically throughout the day. At the end of the day, Raine was well rested and eager to start work at the cafe once more. Xavier had graciously shown up at her apartment last night, bringing a home cooked meal, for her to indulge on.

The alarm blared in the morning, disturbing the deep trance of sleep Raine was in, thanks to all the pain medicine. It had been nice to get the two days off, but she was excited to start work once more.
Getting ready in a pair of jeans and a sweater, Raine rushed out the door with a banana in her hand, taking bites of it as she walked down the streets of New York. Winter was coming and the chilled air gave full proof of that.
It wasn't long before Raine found herself standing in front of Cathy's Cakes & Coffee. Her mind went into flashbacks as the memories played before her eyes. Shaking those thoughts away, Raine stepped into the cafe to be wrapped in a thick scent of coffee and cinnamon.
Taking in was warm scent, a smile made it's way on Raine's face, seeing her two best friends goofing around with each other.
"Hello Daisy Doll." Mike said in a cheerful voice as he petted Daisy's hair, trying to take her attention off the glass displays and onto him.
Rolling her eyes, Daisy set the trays aside, glaring at Mike with her hands resting on her hips. "Hey Mike Macaroni." Her voice laced with sarcasm.
"I thought you hated macaroni?" Mike questioned in confusion.
"Exactly my point!" Daisy replied, displaying an innocent smile.
Raine shook her head laughing, gaining the attention of her two fellow friends. "Just get married already!"
Daisy groaned, rolling her eyes. "Come on Raine! You're supposed to be on my team!"
"But I am Daisy." Raine said, a grin painted on her face. The brusie that once tainted her flawless skin was fading away. Even the wounds from the glass cuts had begun to heal leaving behind a faint scar as a reminder.
Raine walked behind the counter, putting on her apron and setting her bag and phone aside.
"So what did I miss?" Raine said as she looked around the cafe. It was nothing like the way she had left it the night of the attack. Everything was back in it's original place and Raine was happy to see no traces of that horrifying night haunting the cafe.
"Nothing much. Business had been slow" Daisy said sighing. The news had made it's way through the city and ever since the attack, the customers had slowed down.
