Chapter XLIII: Home Early.

*Clementine's POV*

After a long day of work, I finally got home.

Today wasn't as long as most days because it's Saturday and people usually have fun stuff to do on Saturdays.

Especially during the Spring.

So, I got to go home early. 

My fingers tired from typing away at the keyboard, I'm agitated from all the attitudes I received from people who were having problems with their sales that I didn't cause, people who were 'Just looking' at cars, but they've been coming in for the past year and spend like four hours there eating our free snacks, teenagers who give hell because they have to leave, and last but not least, my boss. 

She. Is. A. Bitch.

She's been harassing me for the past 2 years that I've worked there.

With her stupid red hair and crusty skin.

I always tell her; "I'm married." Or "I'm not interested." But she just doesn't stop prying. 

I don't even like red-heads. 

She even tried to bribe me with a raise.

I make money for myself. 

My sales rate is high. 

Another hundred dollars isn't worth my relationship nor my happiness.

I'm just glad to finally be home.

Where I unwind and spend time with the woman I love the most; Violet.

Speaking of her.

I decided not to tell her I was coming home early just so I can surprise her and see the look on her face.

But first, I need to find her.

She's not downstairs.

I threw my purse on the side table near the door and kicked off my shoes.

My feet felt like heaven.

I went upstairs; no sign of Violet.

Then I went into our room; no sign of Violet.

Changed my clothes, went back downstairs and heard a faint voice.

It sounded like it was outside.

I made my way to the kitchen, noticing the voice getting louder and louder... and an instrument.

It's not a guitar... but sounds like strings are being plucked. 

It's Violets Voice.

I never knew she could sing...

Or play any instruments.

I slid the screen door open quietly, but not enough for her to know I was standing there.

"I wish I had... Something more to give you."

Oh my god. 

Her voice is beautiful. 

"You've been feeling bad, this time of year." 

I listen closely to the door, basically falling in love with her voice.

"Things are finally looking up for me this time." 

"Take it from me... I'd be lost without you."

Aw, she's singing about me.

My heart. 

It can't handle this softness.
