When she woke up, a ray of morning light spilled through the window into the room, and she shielded her eyes with her hand, lazily spreading her fingers and stretching.
"Ah—so comfortable!"
She sat up, her eyes adorably and bewilderingly unfocused, staring at a corner of the room for no particular reason.
