Sloane glanced at the book in Lucas’s hands–it was a medical text she’d casually left on the table the other day.

Lucas closed the book and stood up. “She’s gone?”

“No.” Sloane handed him a spare quilt from the cabinet. “Jill’s staying over tonight, so you’ll have to make do here.”

She pointed to the floor, making her intention clear.

Lucas didn’t complain. He simply took the quilt and began setting up a makeshift bed on the floor.

The room soon fell into darkness. Sloane lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Her thoughts drifted far away, unable to settle.

Lucas, sharp as ever, could tell she was restless. He said nothing, only closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Listening to the sound of steady breathing gradually filling the room, Sloane finally relaxed. She had resolved to stay up the entire night, so she silently began reciting medical theory in her mind.

But before she realized it, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

Suddenly, she jerked awake.

She found herself standing in a dim, endless corridor. Flickering candlelight danced along the walls, casting eerie shadows that stretched far beyond her.
