Astrid settled into the plush couch, her muscles still warm from her morning exercise routine, though she had her baby already but could still feel the workout session she had.
The soft hum of the air conditioner and the warmth of the sunbeam streaming through the window pulled her into a relaxing atmosphere.
Maren had been extremely hard on her today, though she wasn't mad at Maren, it was for her good and also the crazy trouble she was feeling. It is the weekend so Astrid isn't going to the office today while Maren is the CEO and would go when she wants.
Just then, Maren shuffled into the living room, her steps slow and labored. Her pale complexion and sunken eyes betrayed her frail state.
Astrid's concern kicked in. "Maren, how are you feeling?"
Maren collapsed onto the couch beside Astrid, her voice barely above a whisper. "Exhausted, hungry, and sad." Astrid smiled at her.
