SOME HOURS EARLIER.....

Henry parted the curtains in the living room to allow the sunlight freely pour in. "Nessa!", he called out while heading to the next curtain. "Wake up, Nessa!".
"Mmm?", Vanessa grumbled with furrowed brows. "It's so bright...", her palm moved to shield her eyes from the piercing sunlight.
Closing the gap between them, Henry bent over to touch her cheek. "I'm going to make breakfast, I'm sure you can't cook". He smiled teasingly.
Slowly sitting up to catch a glance of him leaving, she couldn't help but recall all that had happened the night before. Although he'd said some mean things, she really couldn't blame him.
"Yeah", she smiled mildly before getting on both feet. "I'll help....", her voice trailed off on arriving at the kitchen.
With a smirk, he dropped the knife before turning to face her with innocent eyes. "You're my guest, I'd rather do this for you".
