I opened the second drawer and found workout shorts and tee shirts folded in neat piles. Grumbling, I closed the drawer quickly, remembering that I had gym on my schedule.
The next drawer was full of pajamas. Matching shorts and tee shirts dotted with moons and stars. They were all unbelievably soft. I grabbed a set out and tossed them on the floor behind me.
The final drawer was full of neatly folded socks. For some reason, that made me smile. Clean, matched socks with zero holes. When was the last time I’d seen that?
Going back to the first drawer, I grabbed a pair of the black underwear. It was time to test out the shower before collapsing into my princess-like bed. Tomorrow, if I was lucky, I could spend my whole evening in the bathtub.
My mind flashed to Ben and Luka. That bathtub was large enough for company and I was pretty sure either of them would accept an invitation.
I shook my head, trying to send the thought away. The last thing I needed while I was here was the complication of a relationship.
Letting the hot water wash away the blood and soot, I took a few calming breaths. Maybe this could be a fresh start. Maybe things would go well for me here. I could learn how to control whatever this power was and meet other people who were like me. Maybe I could find a job that wasn’t as awful as the one I had where drunk men pawed at me while I delivered their drinks.
Feeling hopeful for the first time in years, I drifted into a peaceful sleep.
