Sunday: 12/9/07
Who: Nox and Katie When: Sunday before noon Where: mostly at the school, starting at his off campus apartment What: ...take your daughter to work day? LOL!
Saturday had been one of the longest days and nights of Nox's life. He discovered he had an adult daughter, spent some time getting to know her, invited her to stay in his home as long as she liked, got called away to work in the middle of the night, argued with a student, and came home to find his poor daughter sleeping on the couch with art supplies scattered around her. She woke up, and he pointed her in the direction of her room once more before finding his own bed and passing out. What a day!
It wasn't normal for Nox to sleep in, but he had been exhausted. By the time he pulled his body out of bed, it was nearly nine in the morning. It wasn't the sun that caused him to stir, because Nox kept his room blacked out from outside light. It wasn't even a matter of waking up because he had slept long enough. He woke up thanks to the smell of coffee and cooking eggs.
Nox threw on a robe over his boxers and plain white t-shirt and headed for the kitchen. When he arrived, he spotted Katie cooking. She was dressed, her hair wet from the shower he assumed, and she looked exceptionally cheerful. "Good morning." He looked around at the food she had just set out on the table. "You... cooked breakfast..." He didn't sound upset, just surprised. He glanced back at Katie and smiled at her. "Thank you."
