When Beatrice opened her eyes, she was startled to realise that she had fallen asleep. A blanket had been placed over her and she got up, feeling a bit embarrassed for having fallen asleep.
The house was rather quiet, and Beatrice wondered where everyone was. Then, she started feeling a bit guilty because she felt that her presence there in the living room had most likely disturbed their normal routine. If she had known that she would fall asleep, she would have gone into the guest room to do so.
What she didn't know was that everyone had been ordered sternly by Anton to be quiet so as not to disturb her sleep.
Beatrice got up, and folded the blanket neatly, putting it on one side of the sofa.
It was only then that she realised there was something on the coffee table. She got closer and her eyebrows furrowed when she saw what they were.
She took them gingerly, turning it left and right, in a little bit of a state of shock and surprise.
