I felt so comfortable and I didn’t want to wake up but I could tell it was morning

Yawning I opened my eyes and sat up feeling groggy and disoriented.

I scanned the room and I was startled to see Marcelo seated on the left side of the bed.

And why the heck was I on the bed?

I was supposed to be on the couch!

“Why_what_._how?
