At 5:30am JJ jumped awake from where he'd fallen asleep on the sofa. Bacon was being cooked and he could never sleep through bacon being cooked. He lay there thinking of the previous night and heard his alarm go off upstairs as he always had it set for 5:30 during the week. After listening to it blare for a few minutes, he went upstairs and turned it off. Gina had made the bed, put away his clothes and tidied up. Shit. This was going to be hard.
He returned downstairs at the same time she was walking into his living room with his breakfast.
"Good morning." She smiled. She'd brushed her hair back into a ponytail and gotten dressed. She was either really quiet or he'd been just that tired as he hadn't heard a thing.
"Good morning." he mumbled not looking her in the eye.
She put his food on the same tray he'd used last night and picked up her purse. She reached out to touch him but he flinched and moved away. She smiled sadly and walked to the door.
"Don't worry JJ. I'm not expecting anything more than you can give me." She paused and when he said nothing, she opened and walked out the door.
JJ sat down in front of the tray and turned on the television to MSNBC.
Gina had her head down as she walked out of JJ's house which is why she accidentally bumped into Mia knocking one of the two cups of coffee that Mia was holding out of her hands.
