It was tight. The blindfold was tied securely around my eyes, and I was in total darkness.
I steadied my breathing, tuning out any other sound I could possibly hear from the surroundings.
Relying on my other senses, I ducked to the right. Then slowly, the dancing began. My body became jelly while I listened to the mechanical swoosh while the simulation went on.
By the time it was over, I was panting. The air conditioning wasn't enough to save me from sweating. I grabbed the remote and turned it off.
Undoing the blindfold, I made it out of the simulation room. My shirt was soaked with sweat, and I wanted an ice-cold drink.
When I reached the kitchen, I grabbed a glass and tossed a couple of ice cubes before pouring a pitcher of water into it.
Satisfied with the cool water, I closed my eyes with satisfaction. It somehow felt a little weird. I half-expected Jace to either be here by now or be coming over any minute now.
