with how stressful her job had been and all that had occurred, such as the disease being brought to light and quarantining, luce couldn’t help but crave a cig more than anything. sure, she was aware it was a nasty habit as well as the extensive health issues it caused — hell, she had even tried to quit in the past — but between the many restless nights and the sleep deprivation slowly catching up with her, a cigarette seemed to be only thing that would alleviate her nerves. hearing footsteps approaching, she peeked over her shoulder. “please tell me you come bearing good news, or at least a cigarette.”
