The door opened then closed, startling me out of my light slumber. She dragged her feet to the restroom. I squinted my eyes, yawning deeply.
She shut the door. I soon heard the shower running along with cabinets slamming. The cold silence was ultimately a giveway that something was wrong.

"Do you sleep well?"
"Oh yes ma'am." I faked a smile.
