Lucy felt like she had been traveling inside a tunnel. It was a long tunnel filled with nothing but cold and darkness.
She shivered as the coldness seeped through her bones. She longed desperately for something inside the tunnel, searching for warmth and comfort.
Suddenly, a bright light shone through the end of the tunnel. The tiny speck of light turned wide until it burst through her senses.
Finally, Lucy opened her eyes to the sunlight peering through the curtains and windows.
It was already morning when she woke up. Usually, she would wake up around 4 in the morning in cold sweat. So, this was the first that she woke up to the sight of the sun peeking through the windows and feeling refreshed.
But that feeling soon vanished into thin smoke when she realized where she was and who was lying beside her.
How could she have fallen asleep? And in the arms of the man, she swore to hate no less?
