Stella had been sleeping since yesterday afternoon. So, she woke up the next day at the dusk of dawn.

She stretched and looked at the man sleeping beside her. She breathed softly, trying not to wake Clarence up.

Clarence looked lovely when he was asleep.

Stella stared at Clarence for a little while. Then, she slowly opened her blanket and tried to get out of the bed. Suddenly, her hand was grasped.

Clarence’s asked in a tired and coarse voice, “Where are you going?”

“I…need to use the bathroom,” Stella whispered, “You’re awake? It’s still early. You can go back to sleep.”

Clarence closed his eyes and gave Stella a reaction, but he didn’t let go of her.

Stella bent down and approached Clarence, “Clarence?”

Clarence didn’t answer Stella.

Stella said, “I really need to use the bathroom. I won’t run away.”

Then, Clarence slowly let go her Stella.

Stella got off the bed and gave Clarence her blanket. Then, she headed to the bathroom.

After she got out of the bathroom, she couldn’t fell asleep again. So, she stood by the window and looked at the scenery outside.

It was dawn, and people starting to appear on the street.

It was almost summer, but mist filled the morning air. Stella was guessing it would probably be cold outside.

Stella stood beside the window for a few more minutes. Then, she walked to the bed and whispered, “Clarence?”

She paused and continued, “I’m going down for a walk. I’ll come back in less than thirty minutes. Go back to sleep.”

Then, Stella took a jacket and headed out of the ward.

Stella didn’t expect to see the person who sat on the chair in the corridor when she stepped out of the room.

Stella was surprised, “Channing, why are you here?”

Channing looked dull. It was probably because he didn’t sleep the whole night. Channing stood up and asked, “You’re feeling better?”
