Facing the Consequences

Alex awoke not long after Vanessa did and was not entirely surprised to see her staring at him. There was a warm smile on her face as she welcomed the man back to the world of the living.

"Morning sleepy head…"

Alex chuckled when he heard this, before lecturing the woman on her poor choice of words.

 "Oh… I'm the sleepy head? Then what should I call you?"

Vanessa was a good enough sport to laugh off Alex's remarks, despite the fact that she was clearly drugged the night before, and nearly raped at that. Her affection for Chad had dropped beyond the point of no return. Now at 0/100, Chad had no chance of ever regaining Vanessa's favor. Meanwhile, the woman's affection for Alex was at an all-time high.

She was just about to say something to Alex when the doctor stepped through the door and explained how she was ready to be discharged. However, after saying this, the doctor looked at Alex and complimented him before leaving the room.
