Chapter 12

I looked up and it was a brand new day. I couldn't believe that we'd slept all through the night. Then again, what did I expect? That was one heavy ses-sion, but then as I stretched out my arm for Adele I no-ticed that I had been sleeping alone. I looked up and there she was, sitting on the couch facing the window.

The cold Adele had returned. I wondered why she'd let me sleep for so long when she looked as if she'd been up for a while. She was sitting with her hair in a bun, which normally meant that she had just stepped out of the shower, in a bathing robe. I watched her for a split second, wondering what she was seeing outside the win-dow, seeing as we were on the twentieth floor. There couldn't have been much of a view, just people that looked like dots, and the endless skyscrapers around us.

"Hey," I grunted as I tried to sit up, but failed miserably and slumped back into the bed.
