Charmaine awoke, the sunlight pouring through the window and nudging her from sleep.

She squinted, instinctively raising her hand to block the brightness.

Once her eyes adjusted, she sat up, still feeling a bit groggy.

“Uh, Alfred, I think you’ve got the wrong person,” she said, her brow furrowed.
