Rubbing her messy long hair, she sat up. She quickly washed up and went out to look for Byron.

To her surprise, she bumped into him the moment she went out.

"I'm sorry, I accidentally fell asleep yesterday!" Maeve looked frustrated with herself. "I was just so exhausted. I really didn't mean it...
