Shark Tank

Lila

She woke with a start, alone in the room, but then heard the click of the lock on the door and sat up quickly, pulling the blankets to her chest, though she was fully clothed. Her eyes darted around the room as she looked for any weapon or way to keep herself away from another person, but found nothing.

Then Douglas Daniels peered around the door and, yet again, she was shocked by how the first sight of him made her heart leap because everything in her saw Dane for a split second. But as he smiled and stepped inside, she kept the blankets pulled to her chest and watched him like she would a snake.

He carried another bottle of water, which was good because she was very thirsty. But she didn't ask for it as he tugged that plastic chair in behind him from the day before and pulled it over until he was just a couple feet from the bed.

"How are you feeling this morning, Lila?" he asked with a smile.

"Fine."
