I don't want to open my eyes, they are so comfortable like this, closed, but I feel a bit cold, and this bothers me. Even though, I rather cold to hot weather. I only need a blanket so that my sleep will remain cozy and deep. I don't remember resting for so long. My body is so relaxed on the bed that I don't dare to move, hoping that this feeling never ends.

I take a pick at the ceiling with my eyes half-closed. Come on, Sarah, just a bit more. I open my eyes a bit more, and my eyes see small lamps installed inside the ceiling above my head. What lamps are those? I blink a few times clean up the blurry vision.

Something cold and wet over my arm calls my attention. I turn my head and observe the object with my hand. I frown when it surprises me with its low temperature. What is it? I think it is an ice pack. The object is right on the sprain diagnosed by Dr. Douglas.

The memories of the last hours come out like a movie inside my head. Jennifer beating me up, the almost make out on the couch and the agreement of staying at Thomas' apartment. I'm at Thomas Mai's place! I look at my body, checking if I'm still dressed. Yes, my clothes still on. That is a relief. My future boss did not do any extra personal contact.

The ice pack transpires a little bit leaving some water on the floor. I don't remember putting it there. I just remember of been sitting on the couch while Thomas was leaving. Then, how did I get here? Any memory of walking somewhere of getting into room comes in my head. Dr. Douglas has sad I something about memory loss. Should I have to be worried now?

I hold my purse and stand up slowly from the bed; annoyed for getting up from my quiet sleep. I put my feet out of bed and notice that I'm with no shoes. Somebody has taken my shoes off. I look around, but I can't find them.

Giving a second look, but this time more accurately, I pay attention to everything around me. The lighting in the room is soft, and this makes my eyes get used to the light. I place the ice pack on the night table scratching my eyes hoping that this could help to get my eyes better. After a few seconds, I stretch my left arm ahead and observe it. I touch it carefully not to feel any pain. On the third movement of stretch and retract, I got a stitch.

"Oh, shit!" I complain.

I decide to stop this anatomical adventure, and I let my arm rest. The God news is that I don't feel any pain, my arm is completely numb. But my skin is sensitive to the contact with ice. How long have I slept?

I get out of bed slowly and caress my blue silk shirt, creased on my body. I take another look around to find my shoes, but they were under lock and key. With sleepy eyes, I still observe the room that watches my sleep. It's all with, angelical like a doll house. All furniture is bright, except for the bedspread which dark mahogany. It looks like a king throne by the contrast with of its intense color compared to the rest of the furniture. So imposing. Small lights cover the ceiling in a way that reminds a constellation. This room is so delicate. The interior person of Thomas is impressively careful with details. I can say it that by Black Wolf decoration. Well, I'm too suspicious to tell.
