I blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the light. My gaze drifted across the room and landed on another familiar figure.
Rennon stood a few steps away, his usual unreadable calm intact, with his reading glasses perched on his nose.
Where... was I?
I sat up slowly, glancing around.
The bed was far softer than mine. The room was wide, high-ceilinged, with clean walls, velvet curtains, and a faint trace of mint and lavender in the air.
