Elijah woke up with a groan when the sunlight that peeked through the slits of the window blinds hit his face. He forced his eyes to open to check the time and saw that it was already ten in the morning through his blurry vision.
He cursed internally and told himself that he has to go back to the city or else, his circadian rhythm will be messed up permanently.
Elijah has always been a morning person. He makes it a habit to wake up just before the sun rises so that he could work out and shower before his mother would call out for breakfast.
But ever since he came to Hellebore…in fact, ever since his mother gave him that vacation, his body clock is not working properly. Every day, he would wake up later than yesterday even though he was not sleeping that late unless he decided to star gaze.
