- APARTMENT, Monday, 12:20 AM - 
                          
We finally arrived at the apartment.
                          
I turn off the ignition and exited the car.
                          
Normani exits as well and starts going upstairs without a word.
                          
I open the backseat door and pick up her bags.
                          
Once I got upstairs, I place down her things.
                          
It seems she went back to her room to sleep.
                          
Somehow, I feel happier.
                          
I have her back now.
                          
But she seems unhappy to see me, after all what happened.
                          
I'm going to have to tell them that she can't go to work.
                          
Although I still have to.
                          
I go to my room and changed into my sleepwear.
                          
Thinking through the whole day, I drift off to sleep.
                          
I still have to wake up early for work.
                          
- Normani's POV - 
                          
- APARTMENT, 9:30 AM - 
                          
I wake up by the bright light illuminating my face.
                          
I completely forgot that I was sent back her by...him.
                          
I stand up slowly and exited my room.
                          
Making my way downstairs, I can see a prepared meal with a note placed on it.
                          
Curious, I read it slowly.
                          
'Dear Norms,
                          
I'm sorry about yesterday.
                          
I was only concerned about you because I care for you.
                          
I hated seeing you in pain.
                          
If you read this, I'm already at work by now.
                          
I told our boss that you can't come to work today.
                          
Please enjoy the meal I prepared for you.
                          
It's chicken with a side of mashed potatoes.
                          
Maybe you can eat this.
                          
I promise I will take care of you, even if your life is limited.
                          
Leave everything to me for now.
                          
Anyways, take care.
                          
- Ashton.'
                          
I can feel a smile growing across my face.
                          
Apology accepted.
                          
I sit down on the table and grabbed the plate.
                          
It's still warm.
                          
I started eating, and reflected on the note.
