Chris awoke begrudenly to the annoying sound of his alarm clock going odd for the third time, as he finally decided if he hit snooze anymore, he would definitely end up being late for work.  He looked at his wife sleeping so peaceful in bed, jealous that she got to sleep in as he walked half asleep into the bathroom to start his shower, and empty his bladder in the toilet.<br/>After his shower he got dressed and hurried downstairs to make a bagel and pack his lunch while listening to the news and drinking a small cup of coffee.<br/><br/>Before leaving for work, Chris went back upstairs to give his wife a customary kiss good bye.  As he leaned into kiss her cheek, he noticed a mark or two, although faint, clearly visible on her neck.  It caught his attention but he would make her aware of it later when she was awake, no need to disturb his sleeping beauty at the moment.  Another soft kiss on the cheek and he hurried downstairs, grabbed his stuff and headed out the door to his car and the short commute to the office.
