I hear a knock at the door. Gwen is sleeping peacefully on the couch, and I dare not wake her up. She's been tired all the time lately...I don't know. Must just be because of all this murderer stuff. I walk casually towards the door, and open it to see Aunt May pull me into a hug. "Oh Peter! So nice to see you!" She says into my shoulder. "You too Aunt May. Gwen's asleep on the couch so try not to...." I start, before I hear Aunt May say pretty loudly, loud enough to wake up someone "Oh Peter! This place is beautiful!" Gwen wakes up with a start, murmuring something as she does so. "Wha..?" She says tiredly, sitting up slightly. Aunt May notices she's woken Gwen. "Oh Dear, I'm so sorry. Just you go back to sleep Gwen." Aunt May says apologetically. Gwen doesn't hesitate, and falls asleep in an instant. Aunt May and I sit down at the table, listening to Gwen's deep breathing. I explain to Aunt May about Gwen's unusual behaviour. As I tell her, her eyebrows move further and further up her forehead. When I stop, she says
"It can only mean one thing." I quickly reply with "what?". Aunt May suddenly realises something, that I don't know. "Oh, it must just be her time." She says. She then stands up, and walks over to Gwen. She observes her for a moment. "Yeah. That's probably what it is. I wouldn't worry Peter." She taps me on the shoulder gently. Oh well, that was random.
