POV

My name is Tonya and I'm 25, I've been with my partner Cindy since our senior year of high school. She decided to go to college while I decided to work full time since school was never really for me. I've always been good with my hands so I would build things here or there and sell them online different places like Craigslist, offer up, and wish to name a few. That kind of took off and before I knew it I had the capital to lease a small place and build things full time. It was a dream come true for me and I slowly but surely built my business from the ground up.

Tonya POV

I'm exhausted after the long day I've had of making sure orders are ready to go out to client by Friday. I squeeze the bridge of my nose after rubbing my eyes. I sit with my head back taking a moment before I pack up and head out. My assistant Claire has already poke her head in and said goodnight about an hour ago.

I take a deep breath and grab everything my computer bag and the sketches I want to look over for a new dresser idea I have. Not sure yet it I want to make changes but I'll decided that later after my brain has had time to rest. I pick up my cell phone and call Claire to see what she wants to eat tonight. She not big on cooking so if I don't bring anything home either I'll end up cooking or we will both end up eating junk until we're full.

I don't get an answer when I call so I just pick up her favorite Chinese food and head to the house. When I arrive home I find my assistants car in my driveway. She told me she had a date tonight... I get nervous and hope nothing went wrong with the production line and she had to cancel to come see me.

I park the car and rush up to my door thinking something may be wrong. I didn't even grab my stuff or the food, just grab my keys so I can see qhats wrong and fix it before Friday. As I unlock the door and rush into the house I don't see Cindy or Claire in any of the downstairs rooms.
