Ellen stirred in her sleep, her body shifting gently as she rolled over onto her left side. She slowly opened her eyes, the morning light filtering through her still-drowsy gaze. She rubbed her eyes, feeling the remnants of a deep, restful sleep. A small smile tugged at her lips as she stretched her arms above her head, arching her back slightly. She felt great, her body felt recharged after a good sleep.
With a yawn, she sat up slowly, her movements slow and relaxed. She swung her legs over the side of the bed, her feet touching the soft carpet beneath. Standing up, she stretched once more, feeling the satisfying pull of her muscles waking up. She walked towards the window, her steps light and relaxed, and yawned again as she looked outside.
