Clair's p.o.v

Coffee. That's what I need as I am rushing towards my closet to find my uniform, if you haven't guessed already, I am late. After the very eventful day yesterday I stayed awake at night doing my online homework, as a result slept at like 3 am.

I found my uniform hanging crisp and ready for me to wear, I quickly put it on and brushed through my hair messily putting it into a high bun, jogging into the kitchen I made a quick cup of coffee and checked the time that was hanging on the side of the counter wall it read 6:48, twelve more minutes until my shift starts, no time for breakfast whatsoever, I'll probably just take a bite in the diner so with that thought in mind racing to the diner is a better option now.

Panting I opened the door to the diner , 2 minutes left to spare. Yes!

Immediately going into the locker room in the room near the kitchen and grabbing my aporn that hung on hook, I put it on and left the room to be greeted by a warm hug.

Mel.

I hugged her back resting my head on top of her soulder seeing I was taller, she pulled back but kept her hand on my arm and asked a question I am still unsure of.

"How are you feeling honey?"

So I just answered half- heartedly.

"Feeling better than before Mel, thank you for being there for me." I said softly with a genuine smile, my answer seemed to make her eyes twinkle of happiness, that's what I love about this women, she is like a second mother to anyone that needs it, and in my case that's excatly what I needed and she knew that.

"No problem honey, now get to work chop chop!" Playfulness dripping from her voice, so I just went along.

"Aye aye captain." I saluted with small smile and got to work.

While the diner filled up with hungry breakfast eaters dressed in there work clothes I took the time to just inhale the aroma and sighed softly, it has always been my favrioute to do just that, so in haze that I didn't see the bell ringing alerting that a new customer walked in, so I'm haze that I didn't see the blond quiff walk past with a glance in my direction.

Luke.
