SECOND LIFE II (past)

~{INGRID'S POV}~

*

The following morning….

"INGRID!"

I jerked wide awake and looked up to find the man from earlier staring down at me in disbelief.

My eyes were a bit hazy so I had to blink several times as I adjusted my position on the ground.

"Don't tell me you actually slept here?" He asked like he was hoping I'd say no.

When I tried to get up, he quickly offered his assistance and I didn't stop him.

When I stood on my feet, I gave a shy smile while subconsciously running my fingers through my hair to fix it because I knew it would be a mess.

As if getting his answer, he gasped and I could tell he was extremely baffled.

"You mean you slept right here. In front of this very gate and outside where danger is certain?" He asked again and this time I gave a small nod.

"Oh my goodness!" He exclaimed and looked around for any dangers before facing me again.
