Scarlet sunlight fell on the Dupain-Cheng patisserie as Marinette prepared the kitchen. The sink was clear, and the counter was filled with ingredients she and Marcus would need, along with the tins and papers also needed. She surveyed her work with a soft smile. Tikki nodded her approval from her spot in Marinette’s purse.

Marcus was a new hire for the bakery, and her job was to teach him the ropes. She had selected cupcakes as the first lesson because they were simple to make, and she could introduce icing techniques as well. She dusted off her apron, maroon in color, and perked at the sound of the welcoming bell.

She bustled into the dining area and grinned brightly at Marcus, folding her hands behind her back.

“Marcus! You’re early!”

Remy & Anya || First day

Two days later, and it already felt like a lifetime. She had hoped that she could have stolen some of Bane and Jonathan’s attention for herself, she instead found the house empty and both men involved in their own devices. She spent the first day convincing herself she wasn’t bitter, the second in silent resignation as her few belongings disappeared into two bags.

 All her excuses went unheard and not soon enough she found herself stepping out of an unmarked car that had appeared at her doorstep half a day early. The driver was a blissfully silent man who had said nothing of her tears, although they would have been denied anyway.

 The first face she saw was Remy’s and she immediately dropped her morose attitude, the only one who needed to know how much pain Bane and Jonathan’s absence truly caused her was herself. “Your punctuality is sexy, Bossman. A girl could get used to this type of service.”

Her eyes roamed the plane behind him, clearly not a commercial line which pleased her, “Is that all ours?” She questioned at she finally reached his side, a sincere grin in place and any traces of previous emotion gone from her eyes.  A soft rolling sound came from behind her as one of the employees passed them by with her bags in hand, clearly destined for the plane itself.
