Banging on my bedroom door awakened me. “What?” I yelled, bolting upright to a sitting position and glancing at my alarm clock, which I’d forgotten to set, damn it all to hell. It had been six hours since I’d come home.
“You going to work tonight, right?” Lud asked through the door.
“Yeah,” I said, rubbing my face and trying to wake up. s**t. If Lud hadn’t been here, I might have just kept on sleeping. Funny that he’d paid attention to my habits, though they really weren’t that hard to figure out.
I showered and dressed, then walked into the living room to make myself something quick to eat. However, Lud had a meal ready. He was still wearing the same clothes, and he had beard shadow, but he was smiling, if tired.
“You like lasagna, don’t you? I’ve seen you eat it often enough.”
