I lay on the bed, trying to pull myself together. The faint sound of running water echoed through the room, a clear sign that Alex was in the shower. It was the last thing I remembered hearing before I drifted off—falling asleep like a baby who had just been breastfed.
A deep voice jolted me awake.
"Good morning, Rose."
I blinked, sitting up in confusion. My head was still clouded from sleep, and for a moment, I felt like a stranger in the room.
"Do you feel okay now?" he asked, his tone laced with genuine concern.
I looked around, trying to gather my thoughts, before finally meeting his gaze as his warm hands gently wrapped around mine, holding me.
“Do you feel okay now, Rose?” he repeated, his deep brown eyes searching mine.
I hesitated before nodding. “What… what happened here?”
