Chapter 35

• I struggled to get up and crawled out of bed into the bathroom. A splash of ice-cold water later, I felt a little better. I looked at myself in the mirror. My hair had grown back properly and the last cut was no longer visible. I probably needed a haircut. My eyes fell on a small bottle of oil that looked identical to the one in my room. I laughed at my thoughts and reached for the towel. I saw my toothbrush and mouthwash. I opened the bathroom cabinet and found various other things like creams and tins, all from my bathroom.
• I left the bathroom and stood in the bedroom in front of a small make-up table that must be new. My make- up utensils was neatly tucked away. I went into the living room and realised that everything had been rearranged. The sofas had been moved so that there was now a desk and shelves with my books. My CDs and the soundbar were on a chest of drawers underneath the television. The final realisation sank in when I found my clothes in Dragan's dressing room.... he had put my things here while I was asleep... is that ok? My emotions gave me conflicting signals and between joy and anger, all facets were covered as I sat on the edge of the bed staring into space.
• "Your suitcase is under the bed... just so you know where it is."
