The next time I opened my eyes, it was in the morning, with no Jude and no Thomas in sight. For a short time, I wasn't even sure if I had dreamed yesterday's events—first Thomas acting out, then the panther being petted by me. But, the abyss squirming in satisfaction, the dark fire simmering as it watched my hand come into contact with its fur, wasn't something my imagination would be able to come up with.
Going into the bathroom, I opened the toothpaste, only for the cap to fall on the floor. Bending down to get it, I came face-to-face with the drawers under the sink.
Besides being curious, I had never tried to look for clues inside the mansion. For one, I wasn't sure what to search for, and I wasn't interested in snooping around other people's stuff. Additionally, I didn't know if I would like what I found. But isn't it laughable to respect the privacy of someone who practically forces you to sleep in the same bed with him, harassing you on the go?
