BREAKFAST

      When Faith came back, she heard voices in the kitchen. She knew it was that of Charlotte and Ethan. She wondered if Charlotte had told Ethan. She started heading to her room she didn't want to start crying again and make Ethan more inquisitive, but as she got to her door, she changed her mind and decided to go to the kitchen.

    She slowly went to the kitchen door, it was slightly ajar and she looked inside. Charlotte was seated on a tall stool, she tied a scarf on her head. Ethan was cooking, Charlotte was laughing at the things that Ethan was saying. How could she even laugh? 

      Faith slowly opened the kitchen door and went in, they both turned to look at her. 

      "Hey, Faith. You are back!" Charlotte exclaimed with a smile. 

       Faith just stared at her, unable to say anything. Her eyes trailed to Ethan and he signalled her to be lively. She looked back at Charlotte and managed a small smile. 

       "How are you feeling?" she asked Charlotte. 

        "Come on, Faith, if you continue like this I will die before my time comes. Don't look like that."

         "Okay, that's right," Faith managed to cheer up. "So what's for breakfast?" 

        "That's my girl," Charlotte said. 

         "We are taking toast and scrambled eggs," Ethan replied and placed a plate in front of Charlotte. "Here you go, my lady." 

         "Can I get an espresso too?" Charlotte said. 

        Faith kept watching Charlotte and how lively she was. Ethan dropped a plate in front of Faith. Faith stared at the plate in her face. She was not hungry, she had just eaten breakfast at Charlie's. But if she rejects the food, Charlotte would think it was because of her. Her phone started to ring and jerked her out of her thoughts. She looked at the screen, it was Nora. 

         Her heart sank to her abdomen. Has anyone told Nora? She stood up. "Excuse me," she said and started leaving the kitchen and headed towards her room. 

        "Hello Nora," she said, once she answered. 

          "Ahhhhhhhhh!" Nora screamed. 

     Faith rolled her eyes and sat on the bed, she was used to Nora's screams. "What is it?" Faith asked lazily. 

        "You know what? I'm so envious of all of you that are self-employed. How could you still be asleep until now?"

        "Because I need to rest. What do you want?" 

        "Okay, what is it?" 

   Faith felt bad for replying coldly to Nora. Nora had obviously called with good news, but now she has left her reason to give her a listening ear. Faith rubbed the back of her neck. 

        "I'm alright, I just woke up from sleep and am still a little sore from sleep. So what's the good news? Are pregnant?" 

       "Do you wanna get pregnant? Why always ask if I'm pregnant?" 

       "But it's most likely." 

        "Whatever, Danny and I will be going to Vatican City soon." 

         "Are you going for religious purposes?" 

         "We are going for a tour and would be back in no time." 

         "What can I say then? Enjoy yourself." Faith wanted to tell her about Charlotte but she decided against it. If anyone should tell her, it should be Charlotte herself. "Have you called Charlotte yet?" 

       "No, why?" 

       "Nothing, maybe check up on her." 

        "I will do that once I drop this call."
