Lucy woke up the next morning feeling tired. Her body ached from sleeping on the couch, but that was the last thing on her mind as she looked around her apartment and sighed.
She had dreamt of Tom, and somehow she had expected to see him beside her when she woke up, only to realise she was lying on the couch in her apartment. It was going to be a really long next couple of days without Tom, Lucy realised as she rose to prepare for work.
As she stepped out of her apartment, she sighted Alicia, who ran over immediately after she saw her, "Hey, Lucy! Good morning! You're back in your apartment? I thought I saw the light on last night," she said excitedly.
"Yeah. I can't let the rent go to waste. Good morning," Lucy said with a brilliant smile.
"I'm sure Tom won't mind the rent going to waste. One of the perks of having a billionaire boyfriend," Alicia said with a wink, and Lucy gave an awkward laugh as she knew Alicia expected.
