Todd looked at the clock ticking every second and his brow furrowed, the time is 9:00am and Amber wasn’t at the office yet, she should have at least called in sick or something, he thought. He tapped his leg on the ground, he became really agitated when by 9:30am she was still not around, he picked up the land line in his office and dialled a number.“come to my office" he said into the phone, few minutes later there was a knock on the door and Jen stepped in.“why is your friend not at work" Todd asked not in the mood for any exchange of pleasantries.“huh" Jen said looking confused.“I’ll find out right away" She said and stepped out of Todd’s office.She dialled Amber’s number on her phone and it rang, after the third ringing. She picked up.“Hi" she slurred into the phoneJen looked at the screen to be sure she dialled the right number.“Amb, is that you” she asked.“yeess" Amber said, her words sounding slurring once again“Are you drunk, at this time, what’s wrong, why are you n

When they got to the hospital, Amber’s knee had already been wrapped up with a band aid and she was thanking the nurse who attended to her, Todd heaved a sigh of relief when he saw her in one piece, he placed a hand on his chest and took three deep breath before moving into the room completely, Carl stopped at the door and nodded at Amber, she nodded, acknowledging his greeting, she looked at the nurse as she walked out of her room then turned her face to the side, biting her lip she closed her eyes squeezing it tight as if willing Todd to disappear but when she opened her eyes and turned to check he was sitting on the chair by her bedside, the gentle look in his eyes was her undoing, she couldn’t look away from him, she bite her lower lip nervously and Todd held her hand tenderly.“I was so scared, I thought I’d lose you too" he said gentlyAmber was moved by his words, she tried to respond to him but there was a lump in her throat and her words sounded hoarse, she cleared her throat

Todd hung up the call and stomped his feet on the ground, he couldn’t believe Amber chose to tell someone about their relationship despite the current situation and she chose the worse person, a person he had been suspecting since the day he saw Petra at the restaurant while he was spying on Amber, he had followed Petra that day out of suspicion, he was shocked to see Jen talking to Petra, he had been suspecting her since then but has no evidence to proof his suspicion. His head was bursting with lots of thoughts. What if Jen turns out to be Sarah’s murderer, though they looked into her before, they didn’t search deeply, now he was hoping they could trace her call records perhaps that will shed some light on the issues at hand, he really didn’t want to imagine what would happen of he was too late again this time, he placed his hand 9n his chest in an attempt to steady his heart, took deep breaths before turning to walk back into the hospital room where Amber was currently watching a

Carrie was overly excited to be going for vacation with her favourite people, she couldn’t stay calm all through the ride she kept asking questions like“are we there now, when can I go play, can we swim there Daddy"Todd was driving so Amber answered most of the questions that Carrie asked, when the car parked in front of the house, Amber got down from the car and looked around, the view was breath taking, the house was made with dark brown woods and there were trees scattered all around, the drive way was paved with grey interlocks.“wow, looks like one of the houses have seen in the movies"She muttered to herself, Todd who was bringing down their luggage from the booth stepped beside and said“Well, now you’re in this movie”Amber laughed and they all walked in with Todd carrying most of the luggage, the inside was even more gorgeous than the outside, all the walls were painted white and the furniture’s were all brown giving the house an elegant look.“Nice" Amber said looking arou

Getting back to town Amber couldn’t wait to announce her engagement to Jen, so on Monday morning after their usual meeting Amber cornered Jen in front of her office.“Hey Jen" Amber said smiling sheepishly “huh” Jen said drawing back slightly “I find you’re overly cheerful today Amb, What’s up"Amber used her left hand to brush her hair back making sure to do it slowly so Jen can see the ring on her finger and sure enough Jen saw it“Amb, you’re engaged, to who, I mean how, when, OMG" Jen exclaimed her eyes widen like it was going to pop out of their sockets “over the weekend, and it’s Todd Anderson, we’ll be announcing our engagement soon" Amber said at a go, smiling “Well, congratulations then" Jen said smiling though her smile didn’t quite reach her face and she was biting her lower lip “What is it, you’re not happy" Amber said when she noticed her facial expression“no, of course am happy for you, I was just shocked plus I think it’s so early, you guys barely know each other"
