Leah nodded and gave a relieved smile.
"I mean, it's never truly straight." She pointed out, "my afro is always unruly."

Violet reached up and tucked in a stray floating curll.
"I know," she said smiling. "I love it."

Leah smiled and pushed her playfully off her bed. She strode past her and opened the door, looking down at her.

"Do you want something to eat?" She asked earnestly. "I'm starving."

"Sure!" Violet said jumping up.
She followed behind Leah, humming as they went.

Leah led the way into the kitchen, she saw her mom's bedroom door was shut and assumed she was changing out of her scrubs.
She opened the fridge and pulled out a jar of Nutella and then two pieces of bread. "Help yourself to anything."

She then took a butter knife out of the cutlery drawer and dipped it in the Nutella, slathering it on top of one piece of bread and then slapping the other piece on top.

Violet grabbed one piece of bread and then picked up the nutella.
"You keep your nutella in the fridge?" she asked as she spread it onto her raw toast.

"Uhm, yes?" Leah said, turning to face Violet, "It keeps it cold."

"Why would you want it cold?" Violet looked at her with astonishment. "Have you never had it melted?"

"I have." Leah said in a mock offense. "But I like it cold."
She took a small bite of the crust of her bread, ripping it off and then taking a bite of her sandwich and chewing slowly.

Violet shook her head and smiled. "Ok then." She took a bite of her raw toast.

Leah embraced the flavor of the Nutella and chocolate together and she closed her eyes. She realised she hadn't eaten since last night, because she had to work.
"Wow." She said, raising her hand to cover her mouth. "I didn't realise how hungry I am."

Violet nodded and took a bite of hers. The chocolate making her taste buds quite happy.
"Why?" she asked after swallowing.

"I haven't eaten since last night." Leah said "I just kind of forgot."

She took another huge bite and chewed slowly.

Violet fronund.
"That's not good." she said after taking another bite and swallowing. "How do you go a day without eating and not notice?"

Leah made her way back into her bedroom, lying half sitting up and half down, with her back against the wall.

Violet ate the last bite of her bread and put everything away before heading to leah's room.
"You look comfortable." She said to the relaxing Leah.

(there is no upstairs btw)

Leah nodded and closed her eyes. "I'm tired." She said. "Work sucked."

(I'm sorry)

"Why?" Violet asked, sitting down next to her. "What happened?"
