Chapter 53

Kara woke up in cold sweat, heaving for breath, and when she heard the annoying little alarm clock ringing on her bedside table, she reached over to shut it up. 

"It's all your fault." She blamed it. Why would she have an old nightmare out of the blue? It must be the little thing, having jinxed her sleep as soon as she set it to wake her up at midnight. 

After having spent most of the evening with Carlos, she was scared she wouldn't have enough time to finish her current research so she had decided to take a power nap and resume it.
