Sebastian's internal clock was always set for 7 am.

Upon waking, he powered up his cellphone and was immediately greeted by a text message.

It was from Emily.

[Seb, I'm waiting by the dog kennel until you're up. The security guard already let me in. Please don't tell Stephanie, pretty please.]

Sebastian's eyes sharpened as he turned to look at Stephanie sleeping soundly beside him.

"Aren't you going to explain first?"
