Chapter 13

Kay

I wake up the next morning feeling different. Last night I slept like never before.

The nightmares and waking up in the middle of the night never happened.

I feel relaxed and my body had enough rest and not even a drop of sweat or headaches.

Wow! I missed this, I missed how it felt to have a good night with zero nightmares. I feel like smiling.

What changed?

I try to get up but a hand is holding me down. A hand?

Shit.

I look beside me to find a sleeping figure, Carl in my bed?. What is he doing here? The last time I saw him was when I left him with his brother at the ball.

He is still in his tux and his neck is twisted at an awkward angle.

He must be uncomfortable.

I gently push him aside enough not to wake him and got out of bed. We will talk about this when he wakes up.

I don't remember inviting him into my bed, let alone having a decent talk.

The flowers?
