Rolling over fitfully on my bedsheets for what was quite literally the hundredth time now, I eventually gave up trying to get back to sleep and sighed before swinging my legs over the bed to land onto the plush carpet underneath. I dug my bare feet into the soft fluffy material, stretching my weary limbs out before rising completely from the bed to hobble tiredly towards the kitchen.

Blandly I walked into my small 'state of the art' kitchen as Lisa liked to call it every time she came over, flicking the lights on to make myself a small cup of chamomile tea. Sleep had always been an enemy of mine and I was resignedly making the tea in hopes that it would help me get to sleep, even for just a small while seeing as I only had about four hours left till I had to wake up for work anyway but sleep a bit nonetheless.

The lights were dim as they turned on and gradually picked up, brightening into a beautiful white that reflected off the kitchen appliances, illuminating the entire room. I yawned as I stood by the counter waiting for the kettle to boil, my fingers impatiently drumming out a random slow beat on the impeccably clean, sparkling marble tops.

I had a busy day ahead of me tomorrow and needed myself to be a hundred percent for it. I couldn't afford at this stage to be tardy and mess up anyhow. It wasn't just my career on the line but multiple other lives rested on the success of this project as well. It was not something to be taken lightly at all and I did not intend to let my insomnia get the better of me. I would just deal with it and tackle it one day at a time as I had been doing for the past six years...

Even in this sleep deprived, foggy state of mind I could not shake off the uneasiness as my brain forced me to register the fact that it had been six long painful years now since that day...

Shaking my head forcefully, I erased my mind from going down that dark road again and rested my limp, heavy arms on the counter, head in my hands. Massaging my faintly throbbing temples, I blearily watched numerous puffs of smoke continuously rise up from my royal turquoise blue cup in a mesmerised trance, my left pinky finger wafting up to play with it's translucent ink like strands.

"So pretty." I murmured breathlessly to myself, the tiniest hint of an uplift on my lips. "So, so pret-..."

My gaze unexpectedly then caught onto the small diamond ring on my left index finger and my happy trance vanished immediately, a torrid of horrible emotions sucking through me. My gaze soured instantly and abruptly I dropped my hand, not wanting to view it any longer and grabbed the cup motionlessly in my suddenly freezing palms, briskly striding into the living room.

On my way out I monotonously switched the lights for the kitchen off, standing there like a glass statue watching the lights dim out just as I had watched them flicker to life moments ago.
