Chapter 8: Life's Joys

Kit lit up and smiled gratefully as Gemma walked into her office, two coffees in hand. She snatched the coffee off her desk the minute Gemma put it down, causing Gemma to shoot Kit an amused look as she sat down.

Kit ignored Gemma and slurped her coffee with a happy groan. She savored the warmth with her eyes closed for a minute before opening them and giving Gemma her attention.

"Late night?" Gemma asked with a knowing twinkle in her eye.

Kit rolled her eyes and flipped Gemma off while sipping her coffee with her other hand. "I went back to my place, alone, at a decent hour. I'm just feeling a little groggy after all the wine I had."

Gemma perked up with interest. "You were drinking wine while discussing starting a charity?"

Kit groaned internally, dreading Gemma's reaction to the news that they'd kind of had a date.
