Judy's POV

I woke up alone.

Was I hurt? Yes.

Was I surprised? Not in the least.

Sighing, I got out of bed, wrapping a towel around my body before leaving Gavin's room. His scent was everywhere, and my body was still thrumming after last night. I went into the room that used to be mine; I still had a few clothes in the closet that I could change into, just in case I ended up spending the night here.

I used the attached bathroom to take a quick shower before I got dressed. Once I was fully dressed and my wet hair was tied into a low pony, I felt more like myself. I had a slight headache from the tequila, but the water Gavin gave me helped to keep me hydrated for this morning.

I needed to put my game face on because today was the start of finals, it was crucial. Regardless of what was going on in my personal life, I needed to stay focused.

I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen. Chester was already cooking breakfast. Nan was seated at the table instead of the counter barstool like usual. It was easy to see why she was seated at the table, though; in her arms was Emalyn. She was bottle feeding her, and her eyes were shining with love and affection.

"Seems you've taken to the baby," I said, grabbing an apple out of the fruit dish. "She's just so cute," Nan breathed, cradling the baby in her arms. "We had such a nice evening last night."

"Yeah, for once... we didn't fight," Chester teased, a grin on his face.
