The faint sound of chatter downstairs woke up Gael from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in his bedroom without remembering how he got there. It was dark but the temperature was just right. He stretched his body and realized that he had changed out of his coat and dress shirt and was now wearing an old t-shirt but he was still in his dress pants.
Furrowing his brows, he rolled himself out of the bed and went to wash up in the bathroom. It was only then that he recalled seeing that man earlier and he didn't know what happened after that. Just as he got out of the bathroom, his grandmother slowly entered his room with a tray of warm food. "Granma…"
"Oh, you're awake. I was just about to wake you up, sweetie… You need to eat. You haven't eaten the whole day." Grandma Susan set the tray on top of the desk in his study corner. "Come and eat while it's still hot."
