Laurent was so exhausted that she slept soundly, but Dave wasn't as carefree. After being teased by her like that, he first had to deal with his physical needs, then took a shower. Afterward, he felt even more awake, with not a trace of sleepiness left. He tossed and turned the entire night, unable to rest, until dawn.
Laurent, however, had a good biological clock and woke up just before seven in the morning.
After refreshing herself with a quick wash, she noticed that there was no movement from Dave in the master bedroom.
She went to the kitchen to make herself some breakfast, though she wasn't planning to make any for him.
But when she opened the fridge, she was shocked to find that it was completely empty—apart from bottled water and various kinds of beer. It was nothing like before, when the fridge was always stocked with fresh ingredients, and she could easily whip up a full meal.
