It was almost six thirty when I heard my alarm clock start to beep. I move my arm slowly up to the clock and slap the snooze button, hoping it would buy me just a couple more minutes of sleep. Three minutes pass by until my phone starts ringing for what seems like forever until I answer it.

"Benson." I say quietly into the phone.

"Are you almost ready? Our flight is in two hours, and we need to leave in about twenty minutes. Do you want me to pick you up?" I hear my partner say into the phone.

"Hello? Liv are you there?" The words merely slip by me, snapping me back to reality.

"Crap..." Our flight had been completely erased from my mind because of the intense case we had been working the night before.

"Oh, yeah I'm getting ready right now." I say rushing out of bed towards the shower.

"See you in twenty?" I ask knowing too well that you already knew I just got out of bed.

"Yeah, I'll see you soon and I'll bring by some tea." My partner always knew what I needed.

"Thanks, see you soon." I say sighing with relief as I hang up the phone and take the quickest shower of my life.
