The beeping of the alarm on Sigrid's smartphone awoke her from a deep slumber. Her hand reached out automatically from under the covers to slap at the device on her side table. Her first swing missed, sending her Air Nordland ID tumbling to the floor. The small plastic card, bearing her smiling visage and name: Sigrid Larsen, lay there on the floor, silently observing her second swing connecting with the device, ceasing its annoying beeping.

Her first task of the day complete, she yawned and opened her dark-blue eyes. Stretching her arms in the pale light of her bedroom, she ran her fingers through her tangled chestnut-brown curls.

Although Sigrid had initially been overjoyed by his success, the long hours and frequent absences had started to take their toll on their relationship. His job as a marine engineer in one of Nordland's bustling shipyards that supported the extensive oil and gas industry in the country, meant he was frequently travelling, much like her, she mused.
