No thoughts were in Isadora's head when she woke up, only the pounding of her head. She rolled over in her bed and looked for her phone on her nightstand. She placed on hand on...nothing? She finally opened her eyes and realized she wasn't in her room. She was in Matt's room. She shot up quickly and turned to the other side of the bed. It was untouched. No one had been there. She sat up, every part of her body hurting when she moved. She walked out of the bedroom to the Sturniolos' kitchen and saw Chris and Nick sitting at the table.

"Good morning sleeping beauty." Nick laughed. She caught a glimpse of herself in the fridge, her hair was tangled, makeup all over her face, mascara smudged, and drool on her chin. She grabbed a Bubly from the fridge and hopped up on the counter. The three sat in silence, the pounding in their heads probably synced. Her eyes wandered to the couch, Matt sleeping so peacefully.

His chest rose and fell, his mouth slightly open. "He didn't fall asleep until you went to sleep and cleaned up. He didn't want us to have to clean this morning." Chris took Isadora out of her thoughts. "He didn't go to sleep until 5 this morning." She looked over at the stove, it was 12:22, just about the time Cami was going to be waking up with the same ache that Isadora did. She rubbed her eyes, as she jumped off the counter. "I'm gonna get going, but thank you guys for the party, I loved it." She gave Chris and Nick an endearing kiss on the top of the head and headed toward the couch.

She looked at Matt, the peacefulness of his sleep made her want to crawl onto the couch with him and never leave. She gently gave him a kiss on the cheek, grabbed her bag, and left.
