A Sense of Unease

Howard stood up, stretching out his hand to stop Vivia: "Don't come any closer!" 

"What exactly happened to you! You were perfectly fine yesterday, how did you wake up like this today!" 

Vivia's steps halted, but her questions did not.

Yesterday? 

Howard caught onto a key piece of information, his gaze quickly scanning the basket in her hand, which contained breakfast for one.

His brain, now operating at an evidently higher speed, quickly sorted through the information.

Vivia obviously knew he was here, and it seemed he had been unconscious for more than just a day.

Otherwise, Vivia wouldn't have brought breakfast for one up here; she would have prepared something for him as well.

Howard felt his speculation was likely correct.
