the day at the firm was ending, or well it had ended a few hours before. dana was making a point to be the first one there and to leave when the last one left. which, was usually vivian. that way she was there in case someone needed a coffee run or to do any typical office duties. and so that she could continue to prove to vivian that she meant what she said by staying. starting to pack up her stuff when she noticed vivian was doing the same, she grabber her purse and walked towards viv’s office. “hey, do you um,” she paused, a little nervous but also expecting a rejection, “wanna come over? i finally finished decorating my new house and i’d love to cook someone dinner. well, you dinner... if you’re hungry.” not that she kept a lot of food in the house in general, but she could put something together.

she could recognize those footsteps anywhere, so she quickly looked up from her phone to see exactly who she thought it would be. her sister. “can you save whatever you’re wanting to scowl at me about today for later because you’re gonna kill my buzz and you’re already getting premature wrinkles. it’s not cute, you should invest in better night cream.”

to the untrained eye, vivian’s actions lately would have not been noticed. but as the person who got her coffee every morning? handled her schedule? had helped many a friends through their pregnancies and even birth? dana knew something was up. stepping into vivian’s office, holding a couple different breakfast options, she closed the door behind her and set them down on vivian’s desk, “i think you’re gonna need to start eating breakfast. i grabbed a few things, in case one sounded more appealing than the next.” more appealing in that vivian would be able to possibly keep it down.

bright and early, 7am, dana found herself unlocking the doors to the firm getting ready for the day ahead. she hadn’t been up this early in a long time, and certainly not early for work ever. however, if viv needed to see dana care at work to see that she wasn’t leaving and she was serious about the fact she cared, she would do it. trying to mend fences and go against who she has been for most of her life was difficult though. having put coffee on the pot, put mail in everyone’s slots, and written everyone’s schedules up on the whiteboard, she had enough time to run out and grab coffee for people before they officially opened. her head lifted from the papers she was working on organizing when viv came in. offering a small smile, still a little sadness behind it but she pushed past it and started to speak, “you have a fresh black coffee in your office, your agenda is printed and set next to it but it’s on the whiteboard if you lose that. also your 10 o’clock needed to be rescheduled but since they’re a high priority i convinced your 1pm to switch times so you still see both today. you’re due in court at 3pm.” she paused before adding, “also, good morning.” going back to the files she was organizing, she added, not looking up, “and there’s fruit and yogurt in the fridge. make sure you eat breakfast if you forgot.”
