The alarm rings and I slowly sit up. My hands go to my head, clutching it.

"Ugh, this is worse than a hangover." I groan and turn off my alarm as I stand. A knock on my door echoes into my ears.

I close my eyes firmly as I grit out. "Who is it?"

"Your husband."

I quickly swallow an aspirin and sip some water. Then I take a few breaths to relax.

"Come in." I finally say and he opens the door, peeking in.

River smiles. "Morning, my queen."

"Yeah, morning."

"Are you okay?" He furrows his eyebrows, reaching for me.

I nod silently while he inspects me. River narrows his eyes at me and grips my hips, giving me a look over. Biting my lip, I look at him nervously as he stares at me.

"Okay." He grins. "It just seemed like something was off."

I shake my head. "Nope! Everything is perfectly fine."

"Good. Wanna have breakfast together in the cafeteria?"

"Sure." I smile. "Let me just change."

River nods. "Alright. I'll be waiting outside the door for you."

He leans in and pecks my lips sweetly. I hold his hand for a moment before letting him go, gulping. River winks at me then closes the door behind him.

I let out a breath I was holding and begin to change. When I look in the mirror, the guilt from yesterday and every other day is still there. It just won't go away...

  "Want some pancakes?"

  "Just one."

  "Scrambled eggs?"

"No thanks."

"Fruit?"

"Only a little."

"How about some bacon?"

  "I'm good, thank you."

  I grab a bottle of apple juice and walk towards River. But someone pops up in front of me.

"Alexis." I breathe, the guilt coming back to me.

She eyes my plate. "You don't have a lot of food on your plate..."

"No, " I mutter. "I don't."
