Nora stared outside of her apartment window. It was a hobby of hers to watch the activities of those fifteen stories down. She had gotten off work an hour ago, and had spent the last forty-five minutes spacing out at the people bustling around the sidewalks. She had not changed from her work uniform which was a drab and conservative jumper and sport coat, with a modest collar. She stood in matte black heels, with rounded toes; suitable for work and not much else.
She continued to stare out into space until her phone rang. It was a sharp, edgy little thing with a shining black casing. Nora's piercing blue eyes fell upon it, slightly startled by the sudden noise. She strode from the window to pick it up from the coffee table and answered it.
"Frost speaking," Her voice was crisp and gold like whiskey as she spoke. Her tongue was sharp behind her words, which lacked accent. There was a pause as she listened to the man on the other end of the call before she spoke again. "No Carmichael, I don't think Andrews has delivered his evaluation paperwork to me. I'm sure it will be there on my desk tomorrow morning." She finished the sentence with a note of strong finality. She paused again as Carmichael responded.
"Mr. Carmichael, quite frankly I don't give a damn about what you thing should be done about the situation. Its paperwork." She paused only to lick her lips before she continued. " See you tomorrow Carmichael." Lazily she pulled the phone away from her ear and tapped the glistening touch screen. It illuminated to reveal the option to disconnect. With another tap from her finger tip, she ended the call and returned her phone to its place upon the coffee table.
She sighed, and swept her strikingly blonde hair out of her eyes. She had yet to turn on any lights since she'd arrived home over an hour ago. The projected clock on the living room wall read, 19:04. It was getting late.
"Capri, the lights if you please." She spoke to the darkness, and was clear with her words. A soft chiming replied her along with a female voice.
"Capri will turn on the lights. Welcome home Nora Frost." With the end of the automated voice's words, the lights shuddered with electricity and turned on. They projected a soft yellow light that made the air around Nora feel a few degrees warmer as she made her way to the hallway leading to her bedroom, unbuttoning her sport coat as she did so. She took her phone with her, she was expecting a phone call from an old friend of hers. She set her phone on her vanity as she walked into her bedroom, tossing her coat upon the corner of her bed and changed into something more comfortable. Jeans and a tank tops were mainly what she wore outside of work, and they were what she slipped into today.
