Aubree woke up right on time, her internal alarm never failing her, even after a night of heavy drinking.

She woke up clutching her pounding head. The hangover hit her like a sledgehammer to the skull, sending sharp, throbbing pains through her nerves.

Aubree sat on the bed in a daze for a long moment before gradually coming to her senses.

“Carol must have changed my clothes last night…” Aubree muttered to herself, glancing down at her outfit before scanning the room.

She vaguely remember Bowen was the last to show up.

“What happened next?” Aubree wondered.

Still holding her head, Aubree paused, her gaze suddenly blank as confusion washed over her face. “Wait… Did I… Did I really kiss Bowen?”

As the memories came flooding back, the scene in the car replayed in her mind with painful clarity. Aubree buried her face in her hands and let out a mortified scream.
