I walk into the kitchen to find Warren already drinking coffee

Morning

Good morning

He's leaning on the counter, and he immediately offers me a cup. The memory of him last night, moaning my name again and again, brings a smile to my lips

You seem pretty cheerful today

it's because I had the most wonderful dream. but I'm sure you know all about those, don't you

what do you mean?

surely you remember

Remember what?

Last night. You repeated my name quite a few times

his face turns bright red

Must have been one hell of a dream. I'm so curious, though, what exactly was i doing to you?

I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for you to hear that

Don't apologise. I'd love to hear you moan my name again

Warren pinches the bridge of his nose and sighs

Kiara, I'm sure you're aware that our relationship is becoming anything but professional. we should probably steer clear of blurring the lines any further. I've already made breakfast, so help yourself whenever you're ready. I'll be outside if you need me

Wait!

Warren turns to look at me, his face carefully blank

I'd really love to go out today. Do you think that would be possible? I know I'm technically supposed to be a missing person.....But I just feel so trapped in this cabin

You might be recognised

Is there nothing we can do to change my appearance a bit?

It doesn't take Warren long to soften at my doe-eyed face

on the top shelf in the linen closet, you'll find some at home hair dyes and a pair of scissors. I also left you some outfits in the bedroom, which will help you blend in. if you make yourself unrecognisable, we might be able to somewhere today

Really?!

I had a feeling you'd want to explore the town at town  point

Warren!

l lean forward and throw my arms around him. He stills, and it isn't long before he gently pushes me away . Not letting his actions deter me, I smile up at him

Thank you so much.You don't know how much this means to me

Just meet me outside when you're done. We'll be taking my motorcycle into town. You've ridden on one before, haven't you?

Before I can answer him, Warren's phone pings. He glances down as soon as he pulls it out of his pocket

it's Eli

Warren tuns the phone toward me so that I can see the messages, too

Mr. Garcia, what seems to be the problem? Unless there is an emergency, please refrain from leaving me more than one voicemail in the future. Your job is to keep my wife safe and not to bother me with any necessary details. Understood?

I glance up at Warren to find his eyes narrower in annoyance. He types him a one word reply and pockets the phone

Well, at least I'm sure now you didn't kidnap me

Warren fights back a smile before he leaves the room. I walk into the bedroom and look at the options Warren brought for me

I guess it's time to change up my look a bit. What should I do with my hair? I dyed my hair ginger and made it in a wavy style
I like it!
