It was quite bright when I woke up. It had to be somewhere in the middle of the afternoon or the beginning of the evening.
Late afternoon, I confirmed.
I had slept for quite a long time and had not expected that to happen. What had been given to me? How strong was it?
Getting out of the bed the first thing I realized was that Irene was not here. The doubt in my mind grew, had I woken up before I was intended to?
Pushing my feet in the slippers, I moved into the seating area. The silence was something I had not enjoyed in a very long time. Whenever I had woken up It had been at the courtesy of someone. My body had not adjusted to the sleeping timings and it seemed like it finally had. I had woken up on my own after a good sleep.
