South Attic -- Tuesday Morning

Phoebe woke up slowly and blinked. She looked at the bedside clock and realized she still had plenty of time before she really needed to be awake. She didn't have a class until second period with CJ. This meant she could be snuggly with Cole for a few more hours yet.

She curled up against him and kissed his cheek before closing her eyes again.

She liked this... this just waking up with him and starting the day. She really did enjoy just the day to day of them being them... and feeling loved.

South Attic --- Tuesday Night, After Putting The Newspaper to Bed

After she left the newspaper room, Phoebe went immediately to her and Cole's room.

He was going to kill her.

Maybe he wouldn't be awake and he could...

She sighed. No, it would be worse if she didn't tell him and he found out from the paper.

She let herself into the attic.

"Cole? Sweetheart...?"
