Captured

Beatrice opened her eyes sleepily as she heard the alarm clock ring. With a groan, she switched it off and forced herself to get up.

Today was grocery shopping day.

If she didn't get there early, the best choice cut of meat would be finished. Plus, it would be full of people. 

She hated crowds.

But she really was sleepy and tired. 

Having imposed the ban on the twins certainly freed up her mind but it made her rather restless. Hence, the overtime. Whilst it was true that there was a lot of work at the office, it didn't mean that it couldn't wait until the next day. 

There was nothing really urgent but Beatrice just found that when the twins weren't around, she felt something was missing. Perhaps she was getting too used to having them around?

She sighed.

Well, at least she would be able to tell them tomorrow.
