She found herself sprawled on a vast bed with a thin blanket draped over her. She was still clutching the sleeve of Vincent's suit jacket, but Vincent himself was nowhere in sight. Her phone was next to her, still showing no signal.

While she was in the shower, her phone blared with alarms. It gave her the nagging sense of something important prickling at her memory.
