Cecilia  
It was not an exaggeration on Evan’s part, mentioning how annoyingly repetitive his schedule had been lately. It was becoming almost unbearable, having to wake up each morning and walk into that building. While his job required him to translate for all different types of situations, everything had been getting more and more complicated. He would sit beside whoever was his client at the time, repeating everything back to the person on the other side of the room, only to have the other client begin to shout and yell about whatever they had said. There had been a few cases of people who had been living in United Kingdom before the new laws were created, and many of them were just trying to get back home to their own country for the upcoming holidays. This caused complications for the muggle born citizens, since they were already issued an identification card. It was just…annoying. The fact that he had to help the mudbloods was bad enough, but having to do it every day was starting to get to him. So, when Cecilia mentioned taking the day off, he had taken a lot of time to consider it. It would most likely cause a meeting with his boss the next day, but he didn’t care.

Getting dressed into something that wasn’t a suit and tie, his usual attire for work, he slipped into a fitted long sleeve t-shirt, pair of jeans. It was very rare to see him wearing such an outfit, even on the weekends. Slacks and a nice button down were usually worn, because he had things to attend to. Today, however, he planned on doing absolutely nothing at all; another rare occurrence for the blonde male. His fingers slid back through his light blonde hair, pushing it away from his face as he continued to wash up. He had only gotten out of the shower not too long ago, so his locks were still a bit damp. He took a long look at himself in the mirror, staring at his reflection for a while before he moved into the hallway, grabbing a hold of his wand from the kitchen counter. The dog that resided in the apartment rose from it’s laying position, quirking her head at him as he moved about. He had wasted a lot of time taking her for a walk before he decided to get ready, since he had woken up at an ungodly hour that morning. It was usually when he got up for work. “Legte sich hin.” He said in a stern voice, pointing to the ground to remind her just what the command met. She followed his orders without hesitation, which made him move over to the Doberman, giving her a casual scratch behind the ears before he apparated over to Cecilia’s apartment.

He made sure to appear outside, unlocking the door with the simple spell before he pushed it open. He moved quietly, not wanting to wake her up just. It was obvious that she was still sleeping, since she wasn’t freaking out about someone just walking into her apartment. The thought of someone who wasn’t him showing up to Cecilia’s place without any warning made him worry for a moment, but decided that he was just overreacting. Maybe he’d bring up his concerns later, at a better time.

He crossed to the bedroom and slowly turned the doorknob, pushing it open. He had been trained to move quietly, to sneak around a house occupied with people and not be heard…so it was very easy to not disturb her with a simple act like opening the door. She was curled up on one side of the bed, the side closest to him. He watched as she took long, deep breaths, leaning against the doorframe as he took in how peaceful she looked. It wasn’t the first time he had seen her sleep, but it was the first time he really got to appreciate it. He wasn’t in a rush to be anywhere.

Moving quietly around the bed, Evan moved himself to lie on the bed beside her. He carefully got closer to her, resting his elbow on the pillow, the other hand moving to her arm to let his fingertips cascading down her soft skin while he moved to kiss her shoulder, softly. She’d probably get a bit of a chill from his touch, and might even stir because of the kiss, but he wasn’t sure if that was enough to wake her up. So, he placed another kiss higher up on her neck, and then another one even higher near her the back of her jaw, his arm sliding around her middle once he noticed her shift, clearly waking up from her peaceful slumber.
