Arna Renheim

Arna had left her compatriot to his own devices, and left the hotel room with a considerable smile. An entire week to herself seemed like a rather decent deal. She jauntily made her way out of the building. Her demeanor seemed to garner odd looks and stares from those who could not grasp the idea of what looked like a business woman half-skipping down a hallway. She didn't care to notice or comprehend the ridiculosity of her movements as she made her way to the limousine parked outside. As soon as she got into the vehicle, she seemingly returned to normal, and began speaking to the driver.

"You know the directions, right, Dan?" She said, restraining her glee.

"Yes, miss." 

"Well, then, let's go!" The vehicle started moving, and Arna started to relax, throwing the weight of her body against the seat, throwing away her "strictly business" attitude for a week. She attempted to bide her time by speaking to the driver. "So, Dan, you going to do anything special this week?"

"Just working and trying to pay the rent, miss. Not all of us can live as luxuriously as you and Mr. Nel." Arna feigned offense at this statement.

"We've only known each other for roughly 2 hours, and you're already  making such comments? I don't think i'm ready to move that fast, Dan." Arna spoke with a sarcastic and playful aura that surrounded her, which was so completely different from her personality around Aurus that it seemed to shock the driver.

"Well, miss, you are definitely different than you were when Mr. Nel was with you. Are you alright?" Arna let out a slight chuckle before she responded.

"Yea, I guess I am. That guys just a dick. It's best to be strictly business around people like him. You, though, Dan, you are a decent guy, at least, you are from what I can tell."

"Thank you miss." The drive continued in relative silence, with a bit of small talk here and there, ending as soon as the vehicle approached an apartment building on some street that Arna didn't bother to remember. 

"Thank you, Dan. Have a good week." Arna started to get out of the limousine, just as the driver willed up the courage to ask something stupid.

"Miss, I was wondering, since I have some time off tomorrow, if you wanted to get coffee or something?" Arna let an akward smile show on her confused face as she tried to figure out a response.

"Well, I don't like coffee, sorry!" She hurried away from the limousine, and into the apartment building, finding her way into the elevator in a flurry of confused thoughts. She dragged her bags through a hallway, checking a text message on her phone, attempting to remember the apartment number.

She found the door to her mothers apartment, and opened it with the key her mother had sent her some time ago.

"Mother! I'm here." She found herself the victim of an ambush, as her mother suddenly ran up and hugged her.

"Oh, my little Arna! How long has it been now? " She refused to let her daughter out of her grasp. The two of them looked really similar, though one of them seemed much older and wiser.

"A long while, mum." she reciprocated the hug for a second before pushing away, gathering her bags and looking around. "I like what you've done with the place.""

"So do I! I had some friends refurbish the apartment, and it turned out really nice. Anyway, let's cut to the chase." She continued to speak as she walked towards the kitchen and started to clean something off of the counters. "How is it between you and Aurus?" Her mother had an oddly mischievous grin that poured over her face.

"Mum!" Arna groaned, as she shuffled over to the couch after removing her shoes. "I already told you, I hate talking about that guy. Besides, it's strictly business between us. I have a week off from work, and I don't want to waste it by talking about the person i'm getting away from." Her mother giggled a bit as she conversed with her daughter.

"Oh, come on, he's a nice guy, he's rich, and he's kinda cute!" 

"Well, then, maybe you should date him, mother." She seemed slightly agitated.

"I might just do that, thank you for the suggestion."

"Anyway, I hear that you've got a new resident, or something?" Her mother had previously sent her texts talking about the person who was staying in the apartment with her, and splitting the rent.

"Yea, they're pretty nice, I'll introduce you to each other when they get back."

"They wen't out?"

"Yea. And in a moment, you and me are going to go out to dinner and do some catching up over some good food and wine." Her mother seemed a bit excited and proud about her ability to get a reservation at a fancy restaurant.

"Can I atleast unpack my stuff first, mother?"

"Yea, yea, your room is on the left" Her mother lazily pointed to a short hallway. The first and only door on the left wall of the hall had a small sign hastily hung up that read "Arna's Room" written on it in sharpie. Arna couldn't help but laugh at this little thing before she walked into the room.

The room was small and simple, reminding Arna of the places she and her mother had stayed in years ago. Her mother seemed to be more comfortable in those sorts of spaces than Arna had ever been, though, it brought a bit of nostalgic thought to Arna's head as she unpacked her things. She had the quick thought to change into a nicer dress, as her normal clothes just didn't seem right for dinner with one's mother.

Once she had changed, she stepped out of the room to see her mother waiting by the door, seemingly anxious to go. 

"Let's go, already!" Her mother said, anxiously.

"Yea, yea, alright." Arna replied. The mother and daughter walked out of the apartment, heading off to some restaurant.
