I awoke to an empty bed and realised Seren was gone. For a small moment I could not help but wonder if I had imagined all of what had happened… nothing but a dazed dream brought on by my anger and stupor the day before. But her scent still lingers heavy in the air, and I am certain I am not imagining that. Could my mind trick me so well? And as I rolled onto my side to ease myself from my bed, I see a note upon my bedside table, confirming that, in fact, last night had happened...

Lach,
You were sleeping so peacefully and I didn't want to disturb you. I think resting will be good for you. I needed to head home and have a shower. Freshen up. Put some things right with family. I also have classes I need to fix. But I will be back.
And then we need to talk.
