Lisa woke up at dawn.
Perhaps by habit, she went to the bathroom and sat on the edge of the tub while rubbing her eyes sleepily.
The whole reason why she had gotten out of bed in the first place was because she felt like something was missing, even in her sleep.
She just couldn't put her finger on what.
Lisa was the kind of woman who needed at least a modicum of caffeine in the morning before she was fully operational.
Without it, she had to sit in one place for a long time and let her body warm up like an old car in the winter time.
Finally, Lisa remembered that she fell asleep before Abaddon or Valerie came to bed, and her drowsiness was replaced with rage.
Cracking her knuckles silently, she stormed out of the bathroom and threw open the door to their bedroom.
As soon as she opened the door, she was hit by a wall of musky humidity that she was all too familiar with.
