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?
