I wake up before everyone, as usual and try to move as little as possible as I extract myself from all the limbs holding me down. Oliver wasn't wrong though. I started the night in Dakota's arms and somehow ended up on the other side of Cam, tucked under his arm, while Oliver had my hips pulled back to him with our legs tangled. It's quit the extraction, but for once none of them wake up when I try to move.
