Out of Character

When I returned to my room, the fatigue from all of the activities finally caught up to me. My stomach growled from hunger.

I stepped into the shower to rinse off the sweat and other fluids from my body. Christian's scent lingered all over my body, making it seem like he was here with me. 

As soon as I came out of the bathroom, the maid knocked on my door.

"Second Miss, breakfast will be served soon."

"Thank you," I replied, doing my best to sound like I had just woken up. 

Looking at my bed, I noticed that it looked untouched. I quickly pulled the blanket up and rolled around a few times to make it seem like I actually slept in my bed last night.

"I hope I have some time to sleep at the office today. These sleepless nights are starting to add up," I mumbled on my way to the closet.
