HAZEL
But I don't have the strength or the will to....
When I wake up the next day, I'm surprised I even slept at all. But I guess I did after all. I wake up in a dark room, and I think it's the middle of the night, until Angela walks in and says,
“Oh good, you're awake. I will order brunch for you,” and doesn't wait for my reply as she goes away.
I stretch my muscles. Of course, I'm still sore. Immediately reminded of the mistakes I made yesterday.
Frustrated, I get out of bed. I go into the bathroom. I do my business. I decide to take a shower. Maybe it will help wake me up and give me clarity.
When I'm done, I get back to the bedroom. And of course, Angela is nowhere inside. But there are clothes laid on top of the bed and everything I would
need. I get ready. I wear the dress.
