Rosaline's sleep abruptly broke after a strange dream. She dreamt of Jedediah sucking her blood. The sight was not lovely, nor was it scary. She rested her hand on her forehead before sitting up on the mattress.
"What was that?" she mumbled and moved her feet out of bed. Walking near the window, she moved the curtains away and opened the window. The bright sun rays hit her face, and she closed her eyes.
"Why does the sun appear to be so high in the sky? Did I sleep more than required?" Rosaline mumbled and turned to look at the pendulum watch. Her eyes grew big upon seeing the time, which clearly showed it was half-past ten.
She quickly rushed towards the washroom and went inside to freshen up. She remembered clearly how she agreed with Jed that she would do the work which Butler Anthony used to do for him. How could she sleep so much? It must be because of the mattress and warm quilt, she thought for a second.
