章 910: Morning Mystery

Today was a free day. No shifts to cover, no pressing obligations to fulfill, and aside from the matter of restocking the pantry, it was just you and a bunch of hours just waiting to be spent however way you wish. 

The perfect kind of day to waste away.

Though my life has gone all topsy-turvy, wibbly-wobbly as of late. At heart, I was still the kind of guy who'd rather kick back with a tub of ice cream and watch whatever's good all day. 

And the cherry on top was that I didn't have to do that alone anymore. I mean, what better way to forge a closer bond than doing absolutely nothing together? I'm sure Ash wouldn't mind having a day off from doing absolutely everything around the house either. 

I quickly hopped in the shower to refresh and really snap awake before heading right down to the living room. Already two things stood out to me upon reaching the bottom: the quiet and the smell. 

Both of which were entwined with one another.
