Chapter 17 Poolside
- Somehow, I end up sleeping the entire evening away, tossing through nightmare after nightmare.
- I wake up drenched in sweat, with a thirst that has me lunging out of bed to grab the glass of water on the bed stand.
- I gulp the entire thing and refill the glass twice, panting and wiping my mouth once I am done. My trembling fingers rise to my face, before threading them into my hair as I will my breathing to slow.
