[Margaret's Perspective]
In the darkness, I opened my eyes.
I looked at Donald, who was lying beside me. His breathing was steady and he looked to be fast asleep. I gently turned over and carefully observed Donald's movements.
Good. He hadn't been awakened at all.
I glanced at the bedside clock. 10:30. It was time for me to leave.
I slipped off the bed on tiptoes and headed for the bathroom in my room.
This was the plan I had come up with this afternoon. Donald would definitely send someone to patrol outside the door. I couldn't take the risk of strutting out the front door. Fortunately, I found a window in the bathroom. It was just big enough for me to slip out.
