Yawning and wiping her face were the first things that Kait did in any given morning after waking up. The first thing she noticed this time was that the bed was vacant where Deirdre had lain beside her. God... she loved that girl. And the bed was still warm which meant that she hadn't been gone for all that long. Perhaps she could catch her and surprise her in the shower.

As soon as she went out into the hall with day old slept in clothes - she never thought she'd see the day when that happened - she realised that Deirdre wasn't in the shower at all, but downstairs, probably in the kitchen. She could hear her voice. And Peter's.
