the first sensation madelyn registers is the softness of the pillow beneath her head, followed by the comforting warmth of a blanket draped over her. as her senses start to come online, she recognizes the scent of fresh laundry and a hint of a familiar cologne.
her eyelids feel heavy as she forces them open, wincing at the harsh morning light that fills the room. it isn't her room. her eyes scan the unfamiliar surroundings, landing on a poster of a massachusetts license plate, a wood pillow and a bunch of hats.
she is in matt's room.
memories from last night start to filter in - the party, the dancing, the drinking, too much drinking, matt's concerned face, him holding her hair back...
she groans, a dull ache pounding in her temples. she pushes herself up to a sitting position, squinting at the daylight streaming in through the window. a bottle of water and a bottle of advil are on the nightstand, a note propped up next to them.
Thought you might need these. I'm downstairs if you need anything. - Matt
she can't help but smile at the note, grateful for matt's thoughtfulness. despite the headache and the disorientation, she feels a warmth spreading through her. last night may have been a disaster, but matt had been there for her, just like he always is.
