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.

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.

She yanked the blanket off her legs and flung them out of the bed. Penny hurried to the window, thinking she could figure
