She'd been looking forward to going to work, and got up early to cook breakfast and tidy up a little. Unfortunately, things didn't go quite as planned, and yet again, the sink in the kitchen had sprung a leak overnight and had flooded the entire kitchen area. And it was seeping into the living room too. She helped as much as she could, but time was getting short, and she didn't want to turn up late on her first day.
"I'll finish up," Ambrose offered, grabbing the mop, "you get going, oh and good luck!"
"Thanks sweetie," she replied blowing him a kiss, "I'm sorry about the mess."
"Don't worry about it, it happens. Now run along and have a great day."
She stifled a giggle as she walked out the front door. That was so typical of Ambrose, making light of bad situations. She felt very lucky to have found him.
Her first day at work began quite well. She met a few folks and was handed her very first task. She had to go home and read a book before her next shift, which was the very next day. Determined to please everyone, she parked her bum on the bench just outside the school and pored through the fairly thin volume.
After all, if they were going to get married, they'll need extra cash for all the 'trimmings'. And if this meant a boost up the ladder and a nice little bonus, she was all for it.
When she finally got home, she was greeted by Ambrose, wielding a rather bulky pillow and looking mighty 'threatening'. Grabbing yet another one, they decided to pound the heck out of each other until they were completely exhausted.
