Angela went to the kitchen and took out some Ramen, before getting out some bottles of water and the electric kettle. The storm was still howling, but the hail had stopped.
Dr. John looked up from his paper when Angela came into the room with her things. "Everythin' alright, lass?"
"Hm? Oh yes, fine."
He raised a brow. "...I brought in the generator, so you can plug in the kettle."
"Thanks."
The elder sighed and went back to the crossword in his paper. "Just like her parents..."

Atem shut the door to keep the warmth inside as well as to make sure no one disturbed him again. He got back on the bed and pulled the covers over him, lying down in hopes sleep would come to him then.

Roxy lay curled up at Dr. John's feet, happily snoring away. Arabella, meanwhile, had made a nest of a blanket and keeping an eye on her owners while Kisa kept an eye on the weather outside.
Angela was wrapped up in a blanket, and holding a cup of hot tea to keep her hands warm. "I really hope we can mend the gap...before it gets to large. I don't want to lose him..."

Atem just lay there, trying not to think of the distance between him and Angela, lest sleep would elude him. Instead, his mind switched to the Ishtars, hoping the gift package got to them and wasn't delayed by the blizzard. 'I am also interested to know if it is to their liking.' With that, he drifted back to sleep, hoping no one would wakee him up until he was good and ready.

Angela had grabbed her guitar from her room, and was playing a simple melody to clear her head. Playing the instrument seemed to calm her. "Hopefully we'll figure this out...my heart feels like it'll break if we don't."

Atem slept peacefully for a bit, then his thoughts landed on Angela, wondering what created the tension in the first place. He knew part of it was being forced into admitting his decision when he had every intention of telling--just on his own time. The fact that he was awoken from his nap and he had to actually tell her he intended to get back to sleep because she was keeping him up didn't help matters either.'I sincerely hope that won't become a habit.' There had been other things she said/did that he was bothered by and he hadn't exactly call her out on, but rather tried to put behind him, like how she hinted everyone else should hate his rival just because she hated him at first when many people knew the CEO far longer than she did so of course they'd see a better side. ' She never gave a proper apology even after I said I did not care for that mentality. And I do know when a relationship is too unhealthy or dangerous to continue, yet she didn't seem to trust that.' Trying not to think too much about that, he started contemplating his decision again. 'Hopefully it will not come back to haunt me..it is too late to turn back now.' He didn't realize it then, but a part of him wondered what the Ishtars would have thought of Yugi rubbing off on him at any point and even the way he acted on Yugi's feelings and emotions back when he didn't remember his past life..but he didn't want to be branded as a traitor to his heritage for being slightly more easygoing than the typical Egyptian--especially when in the first place some people had loads of misconceptions and often times made stereotypes, which he despised.'How pathetic of me to allow it to influence my decision in any way.' He sighed deeply in his sleep at how complicated things had become and knew he had better try and fix things at some point as he didn't want Dr. John or Kisa to get involved. 'But for now, the alone time will do me well so I can have a clear mind.'

Angela finished quietly playing her guitar, and sighed. Her mind and heart were troubled about what was going on between her and Atem. She truly did love him; his voice, his gentleness, the way he made her feel safe...
So what was going on?

After sleeping lightly for a bit, Atem awoke and sat up, deciding there was no point in trying to sleep anymore with all that weighed on his mind, not to mention how he lost some sleep with Angela disturbing his rest and then trying to keep him up. He took a quick peek at the clock, seeing it wasn't quite time to fix dinner yet. The thought of dinner didn't really appeal to him but knew he had to suck it up, though why his girlfriend was so keen on knowing what all he had bought the previous day, he had no idea. Shaking the thought away, Atem picked up his book to read, hoping to distract himself.

Angela petted Arabella, who had crawled into her lap. Many a time whenever she was, or had, a problem at work...she'd always go to the lounge and hold Arabella. Especially when one of the patients didn't make it... The cat purred, while bathing the girl's hand to comfort her. "Why? Why is this happening to us?" Angela asked herself.

Atem read the remainder of the chapter and was about to start the next one, pausing only once to take a peek at the clock. He saw it was about time to be fixing dinner. 'I shall read more afterwards..alone, before I turn in.' He put the book down and got up off the bed, stepping into his shoes before making his way to the bathroom to wash his hands. He then made his way to the kitchen to take out his soup. Though still tense, there was a weight lifted off his shoulders as he figured out what made him want to distance himself--certain things he had been bothered by he did little to address and even when he had spoken up, the issue not being resolved properly..he did feel funny addressing the things he failed to right then. 'I'll just have to hope they do not happen again, for if they do, the relationship may crumble.' Letting out a deep breath, he read the directions on the back before resting it down and started to set the table for when dinner was ready, taking out water for himself and tea/soda for Angela and Dr. John to choose from.

Angela looked up from petting her feline friend, and at the kitchen. She could hear someone in there, so picking up the still purring cat; she walked in. She saw Atem and cleared her throat, "Hey..."

The former pharaoh glanced up slightly at her from where he was preparing to fix his soup from the corner of his eye,giving a slight but distant nod. "Greetings," he responded curtly.

Angela could hear the curtness in his voice and mentally winced. "I guess I deserved that...hopefully we can mend things up." She cleared her throat. "What kind of soup are you having? Minestrone...?"

Atem side-eyed the young woman. "No, it's a vegan teriyaki flavor." He fell silent and continued to fix the soup, hoping there wouldn't be any more questions.

"That sounds good." Angela said, while petting Arabella. She was starting to choke from the silence...but kept a straight face. The cat blinked at the two, before jumping out of Angela's arms and then rubbing against Atem's ankles. "Arabella has really taken a shine to you." The young woman said, while getting out some bowls.
