• The sound of the clock on the wall woke me up from sleep. I didn't know how long I slept but I knew it'd be the long that I had been sleeping because, from the curtain, I could see the sun was already settling down for the evening. I was tired and famished, tired because I had been jet lagged, hungry because I hadn't eaten since morning.
• I remembered that Alec had proposed a ball party tonight and I needed not to go hungry. Dressing up in a jean short and lace top, I make my way out of the room.
