Reese half remembered getting home but the next thing she knew it was the
next morning and she was slapping her alarm and untangling herself from the
sheets as she got up.

The first thing she looked at were the still closed blinds of her window.  A
sadness filled her gaze as she stood and went to them and rolled the stick
between her fingers that opened them, whispering to herself 'rise and shine
it's a beautiful day.'

She closed her eyes and leaned her forehead against the window, getting the
reaction under control before straightening and going about the morning
routine of waking up and getting dressed.

She was already in the kitchen when Sam woke up, coffee in hand and cordless
phone between her cheek and shoulder as she called Milo to see if he were
ready yet.

Sam:
Sam came down dressed and ready to go.  "Did you sleep all right," she asked
Reese softly, to keep from interrupting the call, if it was in progress.
She got herself a Coke from the refrigerator, in lieu of the coffee and
flopped down in a chair at the kitchen table.

Sam
