Weeks passed, and Monday lunchtime came. Celine is yet again busy doing paperwork's on her desk. Morgan on the other hand came in the room with a smile plastered on her face "hey" she started

"Hi" Celine replied looking up to her

"So, I—"

"Hey!" someone interrupted opening the door. They both turned and saw Zoren "Look what I got?!" he asked showing a paper bag.

Celine opened the bag and saw a container of food "Zee, you didn't have to" she said taking out the contents of the bag

"Nah, I was in the area and I know you'd be busy doing work so, I decided to bring you lunch" Zoren replied then turned to Morgan "Oh, MG sorry. I forgot you're here too. Do you want me to get something for you too?" he asked

"Uhm...no. Nah. It's fine. I just had lunch. Thanks", said Morgan politely

"Are you sure?" he asked

"Yeah. Yeah" she replied "I'll be outside" she opened the door when she heard Celine

"Morgan, what were you about to say?" Celine asked

Morgan hid the paper bag behind her "Uhm... nah. It's nothing important. Enjoy your lunch" she replied and walked out the door. She then went to the café across the street.

Opening the door someone said "If it isn't princess charming" making her turn to the booth near the window "you're back. I'm guessing it didn't go as planned?" asked Westley.

Morgan made her way towards the pair. She set the paper bag on the table and shook her head.

Yana sighed "I'm guessing it had to do with Zoren?" Morgan didn't say a word then sat next to the girl and fiddled with paper bag "We saw him pull up a couple of minutes after you went up"

"Are you ok?" Westley asked on the other side of the booth

Morgan didn't reply

"Hey, lighten up. What happened to the optimistic Morgan we know? Maybe he's just there to get some paperwork?"

Morgan shook her head "No, they're having lunch"

"And why are you here?" Westley asked "you should be there guarding your girl, girl"

"Nah, I'm not a sadist" she paused looking down at the table and a tear slip out of her eye. She quickly wiped it away.

"Hey, hey. It's going to be ok" said Yana comforting the girl next to her

"That rhymes" said Westley earning him a kick in the shin from Yana

Morgan looked outside towards the buildings main entrance and right on cue, she saw Zoren and Celine on their way out and walked towards his car.

No one said a word as they watched the couple drive off. Yana placed a hand on Morgan's shoulder.

Afternoon came, and Morgan was in the kitchen eating an apple with a knife when Celine walked in "Hey" said the girl making her look up "have you seen mom and dad?"

Morgan pointed the knife towards the sliding door leading to the back garden

"Thanks" Celine said and made her way towards the door. But before she got out she turned to the girl ones more "hey, are you ok?" she asked

Morgan turned her head meeting the girls' eyes "yeah. You?"

"I'm great. Uhm... do you want to join me?" Celine asked.

Morgan shook her head "Nah, it's fine" she replied

"Ok. I'll be at the back" Celine replied watching the other girl get up from her seat and sat the knife on the sink. Morgan turned to her again nodded.
