Sep. 11, 2001 7:00                                                                                                           At Alex and john's apartment

I wake up to john and squish (squish is a fat golden retriever they rescued) drooling on me. 

How charming. 

"Laurie, wake up," I whisper, then start to shake him. 

"Laurie!"

 "What?! What I'm up!"

 "You were drooling on me, it was gross. Also itS OUR ANNIVERSARY!"

 "Oh, happy anniversary..." he says falling back asleep as he does so.

"You're taking work off today, right?"

 "Mhmm"

 "ok, good." 

I get up and take a shower, then put on John's favorite sweatshirt. 

"Heyyyy!" he says when he looks up and sees me in his clothes. 

"That's my hoodie!"

 "I know, but you were in bed, and I got it first." 

"Hmph" 

John gets out of bed and takes a shower, then throws on a different hoodie. 

That's when the phone rings, 

"I'll get it!" john says while walking over to the phone.

 He talks for a few minutes before frowning and hanging up.

 "Sorry Lexi, I have to step into my office, but I'll be back soon." 

"It's okay babe." 

"you are the best husband." 

He kisses me and then leaves.
