Althea woke up with a very faint sound of TV, reaching her ears.
She turned towards the nightstand and checked the small clock placed on it. she noticed that it was eight in the evening and she straightened up, sitting up erect against the headboard of the bed.
She ran her fingers through her hair and yawned, still feeling tired but that time, she was probably tired due to excessive sleeping.
Her heart still felt in turmoil but she decided to pick herself and she had to try and adjust back to her life in Gragnano if she ever wished to feel normal ever again.
She got up and walked out the bedroom, walking down the stairs and found her mother sitting on the couch, with Irene snuggled up to Monique. She had her arms crossed with Monique’s and her head resting over her mother’s shoulder.
