Seeing that Mina had gone to bed, Ian felt his own fatigue. He stood up and walked to the bed in his study. As he lay there, images of Mina removing her clothing flooded his mind, and he suddenly wanted to remember what it was like to have been with her. He wondered if they kissed or cuddled at all. He tried to force his memories out, but there was nothing. Just as his eyes closed, he remembered the camera in the room. There may not have been any footage but there should be audio. He decided that he would check the video in the morning. Right now, he was tired, and he was mentally drained in a way he never thought was possible. Ian felt as if he were torn between lovers. He knew that his feelings for Mina would fade with time, but it still made him uncomfortable.

The first thing Ian did in the morning was check his phone. It was only 8AM, but Lisa had already sent him a text. He looked closely and saw that she sent it late last night. Ian read the text.
