Chapter 630: Petty and silly
The next day...
Penny grunted as she peeked from one eye, a little blinded by the light coming through the window. Turning her head, she winced at the heaviness on the back of her head. Before she could do anything else, she saw Slater sleeping in the chair beside her bed.
Half of Slater’s body was on her bed, while his bottom was in the chair. Deep lines formed between her brows as she noticed Haines and Charles sleeping on the couch. Charles was snoring loudly, while Haines slept with knitted brows. Whatever dream Haines was having, it told her it wasn’t a good one.
"Hmm?" Penny propped herself up on her elbow to look around the ward.
No one else was there aside from her father, uncle, and third brother. Thinking about it made the corners of her lips hook up.
"Right," she told herself, almost laughing. "I shouldn’t remember at all."
But she could remember some things that had happened last night.
She could recall Zoren and her talking, albeit vaguely. If she concentrated, she would surely remember all of it. However, she didn’t try because the first thing she remembered about last night was telling herself not to touch "her" memory.
Meaning, that the sober Penny shouldn’t peek at her own memory.
It was impossible because she would eventually recall everything, but at the same time, she wanted to pretend she couldn’t. As she scanned the people in the ward, a shallow breath slipped past her.
