Is She Alright? (1)

Serenity didn't know how long she cried but it was long enough that by the time she stopped, the water was already cold.

She got out of the bathtub and dried herself with a towel. After wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she was about to walk out to grab her pajamas and was surprised to find them on the sink.

When she returned to her room, Gabriel was no longer there. The messy bed and their clothes on the floor were evidence enough that he was back, but he had left once more.

She pulled off the crumpled bedsheet, picked up the clothes on the floor, and threw them into the laundry basket in the bathroom. Then, she took out a new bedsheet from the cabinet and laid it on the bed.

By the time she was done with everything, it was already two in the morning so Serenity was feeling so tired that she could not even straighten her back. She covered her mouth as she yawned before she lifted the blanket to lie down. Soon after, she fell asleep.
