Kyle had unknowingly interrupted something that could have caused more tension in his relationship, but this didn't stop the ladies from having their fun.
Jane slept in the parlour with Ella—there was no reason to leave her friend all alone. She wasn't going to abandon her, and Kyle didn't mind; he needed rest to sleep off the stress of the night.
The evening hadn't gone as he expected or wanted, and it came to an end soon after.
Morning came, and Kyle was passed out on the bed. He woke up much later than usual, but no one had woken him up—or at least, that's what it seemed like, because Kyle was roused by a light smack on his legs.
His eyes shot open, but it took a minute for him to make out who was standing in front of him. He had to wipe his eyes to clear his blurry vision, and to his surprise, he saw Ella—but she wasn't in her usual clothes.
