When Rachel finally woke up, it was already noon.
She slowly opened her eyes, and the bright sunlight filled the entire room, almost blinding her. She blinked, closed her eyes again, then reopened them.
She turned her head to glance at the spot where Kellan had slept, but it was already empty and cold. Clearly, he had left a long time ago.
Rachel tried to move, but her body was sore, and her legs trembled.
The sunlight streamed through the window, and last night's memories flashed through her mind again and again.
She lay there for a while, staring blankly at the golden light, before finally realizing she was going to be late for work.
She struggled to sit up, her body aching everywhere. Hugging a pillow, she leaned against the headboard.
He really didn't care about her at all. She had thought it would end quickly, but he had kept going until dawn, ignoring all her pleas.
