When Tomi woke up the next morning, it took her a while to recollect the events of last night and put two and two together. She'd had such an odd night that even now, her brain was struggling to recall what had happened. She remembered falling asleep in the truck— remembered how she had fought to remain awake to not embarrass herself in front of the Cullen boy, but it had been far too late when she'd tried to force her eyes open. She could vividly feel how Edward had helped her up the steps with his hand wrapped around her waist, his cold-as-night fingers digging in her waist as he helped her unlock the door and then take off the jacket that had stuck to her figure thanks to the dirt and mud on her skin. She wasn't able to relive how they had said goodbye, though. The words were foggy and distorted in her mind, and though it frustrated her, it also made her feel.. Better. Perhaps it was better to not be able to commemorate how her sleep-addled mind had decided to construct her phrases. Once Edward disappeared though, Tomi knew for certain that she had showered both her and the dog in the tub with sleep-numb fingers and half opened eyes.
