A Thief’s 40th Day

Krrr. Krrr. Krrr. The loud alarm rang next to Eric's bed, and he stretched his hands to stop it. He turned to the other side of the bed and stretched his hand, expecting to hold Serena, but he held an empty space next to the bed.

  He immediately opened his eyes and sat on the bed, looking around the room, but Serena wasn't in sight. She should have been there because even though they had an argument, she was always sleeping on their bed but not talking to him.

He got out of bed and walked towards the bathroom, but he didn't hear water running, meaning the probability of someone being in the washroom was zero. 

'She might be in the kitchen. Let me prepare to get to work,' he thought to himself.
