I wake up on the floor, an arm slung over my stomach. I look behind me to see Jennifer peacefully sleeping; her arm tightens on my stomach. I glance out the big window in the living room, and it's still pitch black outside. I look at the time displayed on the big screen; it's 3:11 AM.
Slowly sitting up, Jennifer flinches, jolting awake with a worried look on her face. 'Do you want me to go home?'
'No, I can't sleep here; it's just too difficult for me to sleep here.' I will go sleep in the bedroom.' I shake my head, assuring her it was fine.
As I stroll toward the kitchen, I pour myself a glass of water, only to find myself lingering in the hallway, enveloped in a haze of memories.
Images of Jason and me sharing a kiss continue swirling in my mind.
"Marie!" "Marie!" Jason softly murmurs, his arms encircling my waist with a gentle embrace, bringing me back to reality.
