Doubt But Don't Doubt

That afternoon, Zev awoke and promptly approached Jody, who was still asleep. Additionally, he looked at Loel, seated on the chair with his hands clenched under his armpits. Zev was unaware that he had fallen asleep. He took a deep breath before kissing Jody's hand. He gazed at Loel once more but ceased to wake his friend. He entered the bathroom quickly to take a shower.

Loel came while Zev was busy eating lunch. He asked Liza to serve him lunch. Loel grabbed a glass and filled it with water.

"How do you do? Did you fall asleep? I'm sorry for not waking you up." said Zev.

"It's okay. Loel said, "I'm used to sleeping upright," before consuming a glass of water.

Liza set a dish and silverware on the side of the table from where Zev was seated.

"Accompany me to lunch. Zev said, "It's been less than an hour since I awoke."

Loel occupied the other side of the table.
