Chapter 995 Out Of Control:>Ep53
- After three days of staying in the house doing next to nothing, Lexi felt gross. At first, lying around in bed all day was about all she felt like she could do. And, since no one was bothering her to get up except for meals, that's all the tall brunette did. Eventually, though, even Lexi got tired of sleeping all the time, so she'd wandered downstairs to the couch. She was gratified to find her ankle didn't even ache as she walked. At least one part of her was fully healed.
- Lexi tried watching TV, but it felt oddly loud, even with the volume down. She'd never noticed how many shows were about sex. Even the ads, sometimes for very non-sexy things, seemed positively horny from this new perspective. On the other hand, books weren't distracting enough. She'd read the same line over and over again while her brain focused on far more entrancing material. She'd settled mostly for lying out on the chaise lounge in the backyard, soaking in the sun and staring at her phone -- reading brain dead articles about Desperate Housewives yelling at cats -- and doing her best to avoid eye contact with anyone.
- Lexi kept waiting for her Mom to grab her arm and pull her off the couch. For her father to suggest going on an errand the way he always was with Molly. Heck, why couldn't one of her siblings come save her? It didn't happen. Lexi just sank further and further into the cushions, until she realized the only person who was going to rescue her was herself. Like always.
