Chapter 3

Agnes overslept this morning, but it was all because she was beat from last night.

She swore she set her alarm clock, but it never rang. She jolted awake, startling the man next to her who was still fast asleep.-

Irritated, he mumbled, “Why are you up so early?”

In a fluster, Agnes replied, “It’s already 8. I’m gonna be late for work.”

She tried to spring out of bed, but Jared pulled her back.

“Since you’re late anyway, stay in bed with me a bit longer,” he said, pulling her into his arms.

Agnes didn’t dare to disagree though she wasn’t thrilled.

Jared seemed to fall asleep again, so Agnes cautiously began to inch away, hoping to sneak out of his grip without waking the man besides her.

But just as she was about to make her escape, Jared snapped open his eyes and rasped, “Agnes, didn’t anyone ever tell you it’s risky to sneak out early in the morning?
