Ashley sat in silence just thinking, she’d gotten up at six for some unknown reason and couldn’t go back to sleep. She crawled out of the bed stealthily not waking Spencer who was curled up to her, she just slid her pillow between the woman’s arms and walked into the kitchen where she made coffee and sat down with a piece of paper and pencil making the list of people she wanted at the wedding.

Kyla, yeah that was hard. Aiden but he’s dead, dad…dead, mom…that might be a crisis waiting to happen but I can try, she wrote Christine below Kyla’s name, Todd because her sister would have a fit if she left him out. Who else? Aunt Joyce and her son Robert, god that guy is a selfish bastard, oh wait the entire family’s like that…shaking her head she wrote down a few more people, crossed them out and rewrote them, unsure if she really wanted anyone she hadn’t seen in at least twos years and was on good terms to be at the wedding.

Arms wrapped around her waist as a moist set of lips connected behind her neck, “Hey sweetie what are you doing up so early?”

“Well baby girl, I couldn’t sleep, you?”

“You got up,” she pouted as if Ashley being out of bed was the worst thing in the world.

“Sorry,”

“Don’t be babe, we should probably be up anyways, hospital picnic remember.” She disentangled from her to get a cup of coffee.

“Oh yeah,” Ashley mumbled staring at her list, scratching the pencil against her chin.

“What are you writing?” Spencer asked sitting next to her fiancé.

“My side of the list,”

“Good idea…pass me a piece,” Ashley ripped a piece of paper out of the notebook she was using and slid it across to Spencer who began to work quickly. The two sat in silence for a while, the smell of coffee lingering in the small space; birds chirped outside as the sun began to shine thru the window above the sink, “Done…” Spencer smiled at her paper and placed her pencil down.

Ashley reached over scanning what the other woman had written down, “That’s it?” eyes scrunched up in confusion.
