Curtis' eyes blinked open.
The sun was high, and rays of sunlight streamed into his room through slightly parted curtains.
He yawned slightly as he sat up. He had never woken up this late before.
But there was a first time for everything, and it seemed that his first time had to do with his wife, Lara.
Memories of last night streamed into his mind, and Curtis could not help the smile that spread across his face.
He turned towards his bed to see if Lara was still sleeping. But to his surprise, the bed was empty.
Curtis was the only one on it. And there were no traces of Lara left in the room.
The thought struck him as weird. He had expected her to wake up by his side this morning, but she seemed to have had other plans.
It wasn't a big deal though. Curtis figured out that she was probably somewhere else in the house.
He got up and prepared for work, with a contented smile on his face.
