As the first rays of morning light shine through Li Jing's window, Lily dazedly turns over on the bed until she suddenly hears a soft knock on the door and mutters, "Yes?"

Li Jing carefully pushes the door open and says, "I apologize for entering so abruptly, but Yang asked..."

Lily fumbles with her hand and says, "No, please. I myself am to blame for this."

Li Jing looks at her appraisingly and slides the onyx to her champagne glass and says, "One can guess. They suffer from nightmares... they don't really sleep much."

Lily nods quietly and asks, "Maybe so... but I have to be straight with you, Li Jing. Why do you want to talk to me this morning?'

"If you're trying to point out that you don't like me, you'll unfortunately be disappointed." And then he turns his eyes to the girl's tray: "Drink something, please. You're going to need it."
