LOVE IN THE SHADOW

The alarm clock continued to beep non-stop, its shrill sound piercing through the room. On the bed, Sophy, the cat, was busy trying to wake up her owner. She meowed loudly and used her paw to gently tap her owner's face, trying to rouse her from slumber.

The lady groaned under the duvet, murmuring incoherently as Sophy continued to meow beside the bed. Suddenly, the lady jerked up from the bed, her eyes drooling from sleep. She scanned the room, disoriented, until her gaze landed on the time on the wall.

"8 am!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening in surprise. She quickly turned to Sophy. "Sophy, why didn't you wake me up?" Sophia meowed and lay down, seemingly unimpressed.

The lady rushed to the bathroom to freshen up. A few minutes later, she emerged with a bathrobe, hurrying to the closet to grab her clothes. Just then, her cell phone rang from the bed. She quickly picked it up and answered the call, placing it on loudspeaker as she continued to get dressed.

"Summer, where the heck are you?" a female voice asked from the other end of the phone.

"I'm at the bus station now, I'm coming," She replied.

The voice scoffed. "Really? I can still hear the sound of your closet and Sophy's breathing on the phone. You know the director is coming today, and you have thirty minutes to get your ass down here."

"I'm on my way, just cover up for me, love you," she said, and the call was disconnected.

She hurriedly put on her clothes and doctor's jacket. She rushed to the kitchen to feed Sophia, then grabbed her car keys from the table in the living room.

"See you later, Sophy!" she yelled, shutting the door behind her before rushing off to her car and driving away.
