Chapter Nine

Chapter 9

            That glass of wine I downed last night had kicked in about half an hour after I drank it making me lightheaded. I had Jacob tell our mom that I was tired and could we continue the conversation later. I was sure everyone agreed with me. We had stayed up into the late hours gaining details about our existence. It was about 2am when I finally feel asleep.  When I woke, I felt like I had a peaceful night’s sleep, because not one nightmare reared its ugly head.

            The sun was trying to come through my black out curtains, but it was unsuccessful. What was coming through was the feeling of warmth from the sun. It warmed my face as I lay on my pillows. I was still tired and contemplating getting up. I turned over and looked at the red lights flashing on my alarm clock, it was already noon. Wow I must have been tired,
