On what turned out to be her final morning in this mortal coil, Wanda Day's slumber was rudely interrupted by the shrill screech of her alarm clock at the ungodly hour of 4:45 a.m. Nestled beside her snoring husband, she mustered all the enthusiasm of a de-caffeinated sloth as she begrudgingly greeted the day. With the grace of a sleep-deprived swan, she maneuvered herself behind Colin, planting a kiss on his neck. "Good morning my love," she muttered, entwining her leg around his waist. In response, Colin, in his half-asleep stupor, grunted out what could have been mistaken for affection and pulled her into a bear hug that rivaled a boa constrictor's embrace, placing wild kisses on her hair.

After savoring a whole 54 seconds of marital bliss, Wanda swiftly vanished into the bathroom, leaving behind a trail of soft giggles. As she stood under the cascading water, her mind wandered back to the previous evening's escapades. Ah, yes, the delightful soirée in the basement with Colin – a real highlight in their otherwise... boring existence.

The couple from cell 17 had been a perpetual headache for them since they'd been brought in. Despite numerous warnings and threats akin to a broken record, the female half of the pair seemed to have taken a vow of eternal vocalization. It wasn't until Chris, channeling his inner superhero, delivered a knockout blow that the DAY!s finally experienced a brief respite from the cacophony of her vocal gymnastics.

After their bloody adventure, the passion between Wanda and Colin was practically bubbling over, each reveling in the other's prowess, especially during the highly anticipated DAY!s gatherings that never failed to stir up excitement. Their escapades led them to an impromptu tryst on the floor beside the sturdy steel table in Chamber 9, where they indulged in a bout of passion reminiscent of hormonal teenagers who had just discovered sex. Their journey home took a detour through the woods, where they decided to add another chapter to their amorous adventures. Finally, back in the very bed where the day began, they embarked on a third round of exceptionally passionate and enduring intimacy, proving that their love life was anything but mundane.

As Wanda dried herself off and gazed at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't help but marvel at the mystery of how her union with Colin still felt as fresh as day one, despite nearly two decades of marriage. Their nightly sex was still a daily task as brushing teeth – sometimes even doubling up for good measure, or on special occasions like yesterday, tripling the fun. Wanda attributed their unwavering passion to their shared hobby, sending a playful kiss to her mirror image before strolling back into the bedroom to rouse her slumbering husband with a gentle shake.

In the oh-so-charming kitchen, Wanda was savoring her second dose of caffeine from her beloved red cup when in swoops Colin, the coffee thief extraordinaire. Snatching the cup from her grasp, he nonchalantly plonked it on the table, then proceeded to pull Wanda into a dramatic face-grabbing, deep-kissing scene straight out of a soap opera.

"Oh, Colin," Wanda managed between giggles, attempting a daring escape from his clutches. "I have to go to the hotel."

But her dear husband, ever the romantic, was not to be deterred and planted another kiss on her lips, only to have the magic interrupted by the continuous ringing of his phone. With an eye roll for added effect, he glanced at the screen. „Remember where we left off," he whispered with a wicked grin. „Tonight, it's you and me, baby. First, we'll take care of the couple in cell 13, and then I'll take care of you."

Upon hearing his words, Wanda couldn't contain her amusement and erupted into a fit of wild laughter. "Colin Day, are you suggesting we relive our little escapade from last night?" she quipped, feeling a surge of excitement at the mere thought. Colin, the ever-ardent paramour, never failed to deliver on the thrills. Despite Wanda Day's exclusive history of intimacy only with him, he was all it took to satisfy her desires.
