^{Nearly a week had passed since my fathers death.  Life, as I expected, moved on.  I tried not to be as sullen as I had been for the first few days, but it was hard.  Nessa called me enraged because she wasnt invited to the reading of the will.  I told her it was because our father left her nothing. That made things even worse.  Still, I had more important things to worry about. Like, what to get my girlfriend for her birthday.}

            ^{We took a break from editing, due to the fact that all the equipment in the lab had a major meltdown when the power blew. They were still trying to fix the computers. So, until further notice, the film sat idly on the side. This gave me an opportunity to work more, which meant a nicer gift for my significant other.}

            ^{I was sitting on the couch, I didnt have to be at work until 7, and it was only 6:30. Thats the great thing about working right across the street.  Siobhan entered the apartment with a heavy sigh.  I glanced up from my television program on the Discovery Channel and looked over at my clearly perturbed roommate.}

            ^{What happened? I asked as I clicked the t.v. off.}

            ^{Well aside from having my skirt tucked in my pantyhose all day? Nothing. She said with a frown before plopping on the couch next to me.}

            ^{I gave a bit of a smirk and shook my head before laying my legs across Siobhans lap.  I put my arms behind my head and gave a bit of a smile.}

            ^{So youre working again tonight?}

            ^{I nodded.}

            ^{Good, maybe Ill stop in, Lord knows I could use a drink. Siobhan said before getting up, tossing my legs to the side.}

            ^{I smirked again and sat up as she moved towards her room, our apartment was decently sized, and her room was just off the hallway from the living room.  I stood and leaned against the wall, careful as to not look in while she got changed.}

            ^{I was wondering if you would let me borrow one of your pantsuits. I asked tentatively. Like I said before, I dont own nice clothes.}
