Poppy glanced at the alarm next to her bed. It was already nine in the evening, and Xavian was nowhere to be seen. Not even Violet was home, and she was in the house alone, all by herself.
A deep breath fled her mouth, and she got into bed, lying on her side, her phone in her grip. The clock ticked and eventually, she ended up falling asleep, the phone slipping off her hand into the bed.
An hour more into her sleep, footsteps could be heard, one that Poppy knew too well, but all she did was steer a bit in her sleep, her hair latching all over her face. She didn't wake up, but a knock, one that sounded hesitant, did come on the door.
Still, she didn't wake up.
