272 Hall Pass Done

(Winona)

The sun creeps in through the drapes, harsh and uninvited. My head feels like it's been hit with a sledgehammer. My body is heavy with the familiar ache of too much alcohol and dancing. And orgasms.

Okay, maybe too many orgasms aren't a thing. I know I sure hit my quota.

I feel the heat rise to my cheeks and there's a twinge deep inside me. I think I crossed every line there is to be crossed. Never say never, I guess. I smile.

Anyway, it's done and guess what? I know marrying Jayden is right for me.

I shift slightly under the soft sheets, taking stock of my week of freedom.

And as much as I want to forget it, the memory of last night comes crashing back. The drinks, the dancing... Lance, that man, there were women, the things that happened afterwards.

I groan, pulling the sheet up over my head. My bed is now empty, and for that, I'm grateful. There's no need to deal with the awkwardness of morning-after conversations.

No regrets to address, no apologies to make.

I had fun last night-maybe too much fun-but I know one thing for sure: I'm done with the hall pass. This little experiment is over.

I rub my temples, trying to shake off the fog in my brain. I need water, coffee, something to kick me back into gear. Cass. I scramble to find my phone and check it. No messages or missed calls.
