Waking up, Susan got stiff for a second, before remembering what had happened. I must have fallen asleep, she thought, seeing that Brandon was still sleeping. She looked around slightly before sitting up in the bed, careful not to wake him up. Walking over to the window, it was still dark outside, and rainy. Without looking at the clock, she assumed it was still at night, as she made her way to the bathroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she bit her lip. What had she done? "What have I done?" she asked herself, as if she was expecting an answer from the reflection in the mirror. She smiled slightly as she washed her hands. Had she screwed things up already?
The thought of walking away, in the middle of the night, hit her. It would be simple. Just leaving, no traces. It would be so easy, she thought. She wouldn't have to give him any explanations as to why it had turned out like this. Thinking about it, she knew she couldn't do that, though. He cared about her. She could tell by the way he had taken care of her last night. She was still embarrased about it. Ashamed of even thinking about leaving, she laid down next to him in the bed, listening to his heart beating once again.
