I woke up with a heavy head, but my uneasiness had faded. My eyelids felt heavy, and my thoughts were confusing. Sunlight streamed through the glass window in my room, and I stirred on my bed before rolling out.
Muffled noises cane from the living room, but I headed straight to the washroom, paying no attention to them. My stomach growled, reminding me that I had skipped dinner the night before.

I sat on my bed, legs tangled and back resting against the headboard, and picked up my phone from the nightstand. Turning on the internet, a flood of messages appeared on my screen. I had last used my phone to book a cab before switching it off.

As his words reached my ears, I recalled the earlier incident when Zehra mentioned Yerik's name. I didn't want to lie to him, but I also couldn't reveal everything. "Um, yeah. My phone died, and I went to bed early because of a headache."
