Chapter 18

• My body felt heavy as if something was pressing down on my chest. Despite that, I felt light, like a baby cradled by its mother. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Judging from the ceiling, I was sure I was in my room. How did that happen when I remember being at my office last night? Who brought me here and why?
• I tried to move, but the hand resting on my chest caught my attention. I lifted it and followed it with my gaze to the owner, who was soundly asleep. I placed her hand back on my chest and decided not to get up.
