Lisa’s POV Some mornings hit with a kind of anticipation that makes everything feel almost cinematic. This morning wasn’t quite that, but it came close. I woke up earlier than usual, heart already beating a little too fast. The sunlight bleeding through my blackout curtains had this honey-like glow that begged to be caught on camera. ‘Not today.’ I didn’t waste time lazing around however. Much like the day before. I spent my entire free day doing what Mrs. Jocelyn had asked. Barely a moment of rest between struts, research and making a portfolio that was ‘distinctly me’. Morning turned into afternoon, then into evening, and before I realized it, the day was gone.
