Exhaustion catches up

From Mathew's protector and savior to an angry girlfriend questioning her boyfriend about the events of the last night.

The change that Nadia went through in the span of mere seconds was immense.

'Damn.' Mathew swallowed his saliva, not sure how to approach the topic. 'I knew it would come to this, but how the hell am I supposed to tell her?' he thought.

Mathew averted his eyes to the side, pointing his right hand towards the girls a bit further away.

"It's Daria and Leila," the young man explained obediently. He then lowered his head before Nadia's stormy gaze. "I met them while trying to reach the bottom floor. The two of them helped me a lot while clearing the zombies out of our way."

Mathew was only a single instant away from kowtowing on the ground, with no care for all the blood and filth that covered it.

"Isthatit?" Nadia's doubtful reply merged into a single word.
