305 You can say wow The next day...

A moan escaped Penny as her eyes flickered beneath her eyelids. She stretched her arms and legs, her lips curling up at the soft fragrance of the bed that was pulling her back to sleep. Although she hadn't completely woken up yet, she could tell it would be a good day. Her mood was light, and her sleep had been deep and satisfying.

A good night's sleep really does wonders for one's mood.

"Mhm," she moaned once more as her eyes slowly cracked open. "Mhm."

Stretching her arms again, Penny was ready to welcome the day with a smile. But as her eyes cleared, she realized that the room she had woken up in wasn't her bedroom.

"What?!" she gasped, sitting up abruptly, which made her feel a little dizzy. She paused and held

her head until she felt stable.

Slowly, she looked around, her brows furrowing.

"Where did I..." she trailed off, trying to recall last night.

She remembered leaving the Old Pierson Residence and being in the car with Zoren. Then, she had decided to take a nap.

A nap!

Her eyes widened as she held her breath, her heart thudding against her chest. The color drained from her face, and her first instinct was to cover herself with the blanket. Penny often slept with little to no clothing - sometimes, just her underwear. Gazing down in horror, she breathed a deep sigh of relief upon realizing she was still clothed. Her clothes were the same ones she had worn the night before..

"Goodness, Penny," she muttered, holding her head as she glanced around the wide, minimalist bedroom. "What did I... why didn't he wake me up?"

A vein throbbed in her forehead as she thought about how Zoren could have woken her up. He didn't have to take her elsewhere.
