Chapter 66

• Serene’s physically and emotionally exhausted body demanded its respite. As soon as her back touched her bed, Serene felt her eyelids become heavy, and sleep took over her. It was a dreamless night for her. She’s too exhausted to even dream.
• She slept like a baby. The warm light from the window, filtered by her curtain, woke her up. Red shadows played on the back of her eyelids as the curtain danced from the outside breeze. She rubbed her eyes and sat on her bed. Hugging her knees and resting her face on them, she could not help but recall the recent events.
• A gentle pain in her lower abdomen extending to her lower back made her get out of bed and go to the bathroom. She washed up and changed into comfortable clothes before going down to have breakfast with her parents.
