It was already 10 p.m.! He could not believe that he had slept for so long. Did Shelly not say that she would wake him up for dinner? As expected, it was just a casual remark. Although he was a little disappointed, he was calm about it. In any case, he had accepted Shelly's dislike for him.
Then, he climbed out of bed. As soon as his feet touched the ground, he yelped, "Ow!"
It hurt so much more than before. He did not know if it was because he had not moved for too long, but when he got off the ground, he pulled the wound on his knee. It felt like it had stretched his skin apart.
After a long time, he managed to gather himself, stand up from the bed, and carefully open the bedroom door. That was when he saw Shelly watching TV on the sofa in the living room.
