Behind The Spotlight Chapter 25
Collin East yawned and sat up slowly, rubbing his eyes and letting the light seep into his vision. He had enjoyed a great sleep now that he had bought a foam mattress to lie on, instead of the narrow and unforgiving couch he had endured for months.
Just a few months ago, he had been sleeping on that couch, waking up each morning with a crooked neck. The small space made it hard for him to stretch his body while sleeping, which left him aching most days. Now, there was some improvement, he had a foam mattress, but he was still sleeping in the living room.
"Good morning, Collin. Breakfast is ready. You can eat first."
Evelyn found her son waking up and greeted him with a smile as she carried a plate to the table.
"Thanks, Mom. Where's Aida? Already at school?"
"Hm, she woke up early to commute so she could avoid the morning rush."
Collin stood up and stretched his body, both arms extended above his head. A soft moan escaped his mouth as the pleasure of stretching washed over him like a satisfying wave of relief.
He sat down and started eating breakfast. The breakfast was eggs, toast, and milk. He had to leave early, and he needed something in his stomach to stay active throughout the busy day ahead.
