Iris:
When Lara called for him, he got up to follow her. Of course he would.
She was his soon-to-be bride. In a few days, they were going to get engaged, and then they would plan the wedding, at least that was what I knew for now.
Watching him walk behind her, I stood to leave.
However, I had only taken a few steps when I realized the drinks had caught up to me faster than I expected.
Even though I had only taken a few sips earlier, everything from the day had drained me, and everything from the day before had already left me with no strength.
Instead of going home, I went into one of the rooms that had been booked for me and the other colleagues.
My head felt heavy, and I needed to sit down and rest for a few minutes.
I entered the room, locked the door, and sat on the bed, thinking that after a few minutes I would feel better and then be able to go home.
However, those few minutes turned into hours. I realized I had fallen asleep on the soft bed.
