The wind tickling her ear disrupted her sleep, pulling her back to consciousness.
‘Ugh, I need to close that window,’ she thought, but her body felt too heavy to stand up and do that.
A crawling sensation in her heart caused her to narrow her brows.
It was a strange, foreign feeling.

‘Vera, are you awake?’
Still no answer.
A deep exhale left her lips.
“You're finally awake,” a deep voice spoke beside her.
Snapping her head to the side at the sound, she sighted the source.
