Chapter 16: Preparation Keava POV My 7AM alarm sounded its siren and I cursed it with every ounce of displeasure I could muster. Normally I would rise before the morning alarm, but the copious amount of alcohol I had consumed during my dinner with Roman and left me with a titanic hangover. Or should I say the dinner that I had by myself after he left to do who knows what with who knows who. “Good morning sunshine," Shirley greeted. She was standing above me holding a large mug of coffee; my salvation! I took the mug from her graciously, thanking her non-verbally as I had yet to regain the power of comprehensive speech. I drank deeply and thanked whatever deity had seen fit to create the coffee bean. “You came in quite late last night, and rather inebriated as well," Shirley smirked.
