I guess it was sleep deprivation that also made me doze off. I never meant to sleep.
I only realized I slept when I woke up.
And I couldn't find Neuron anywhere.
I had a sudden surge of anxiety. I abruptly stood up and ran around the room.
"Neuron! Neuron! Your Highness!"
But I heard no answer. I checked the kitchen. No Neuron.
I checked the bathroom, the living room, but I couldn't find him anywhere.
It occurred to me.
What if he changed his mind and went back to Gracia without me?
I groveled on the floor of the bedroom and wept in pain, anxiety, and shattered hope.
Did he really leave me?
Then I noticed a post-it note on the table beside the bed.
I stood up and slowly went near it. My hands were shaking as I reached for the note.
I'm so scared of what's written there. I don't think I could ever prepare myself if Neuron would tell me he changed his mind.
