- DOMINIK -
The sun hasn't risen yet when I'm wrenched from dreams by loud knocking. I'm so confused by the fact that I was actually sleeping and dreaming that it takes me a minute of sitting in my bed, squinting in the direction of the door before I remember that I told Vanessa to come get me if she needed anything.
With blankets thrown back, I'm quickly out of bed and pulling on a shirt on the way to answer the next set of knocks. When I hurry to unlock the door and pull it open, instead of Vanessa on the other side, it's Ivan's ugly mug staring back at me.
My mood immediately sours, especially considering how jovial he looks this early in the morning. No doubt he slept like a baby.
"Good morning, sunshine."
