I wake up feeling sick, yet it's completely dark outside. I search the bed for Jake but come up empty. "Well, now, where could he have gone?"
It's completely dark outside. I wrap a sheet around myself even though I know there is no one anywhere near this place.
The lights from the kitchen assault my vision, as does the aroma of food to my nose. My stomach growls loudly. I hear Jake giggle.
We eat in a peaceful silence out on the back patio. The silver moonlight is enough to see by.
After a drink of some water–the first one I chugged–I ask Jake where we are going to go in the morning. He just shrugs, his usual manner of keeping things a surprise. Damn him. I smile.
"Well, what can I expect to wear for tomorrow's adventures?"
With a smile, he says, "Oh, that nice short flowery dress you have packed away!"
