They had been through a lot. Chaos was the third end of their relationship. So whenever there was a quiet moment, Karen did everything she could to make it last as long as possible. Today she woke up earlier than she needed and decided to take advantage of the opportunity to create one of these moments.
She sneaked out of bed, doing her best not to wake Frank up, and went to the kitchen to prepare an easy breakfast. It was almost 6 A.M. and the sun was just rising. As she put the bread in the toaster she wondered about her friends, she wondered if they too managed to get a full night of sleep. She grabbed two plates and put some fresh, uncut fruit on them. She poured the coffee into two red cups, the cups they bought when they first moved in together. Just as the bread was ready, she heard Frank get up and walk towards the kitchen. She smiled, this morning was going to be good.
