Adam and Althea made love and had pure ecstacy for hours, until finally they both collapsed, utterly spent. They slept in each other's arms, their bodies wrapped around one another like two puzzle pieces that had finally found their perfect fit. One would never believe that they hated each other.
Althea woke up in the middle of the night, with a pressing need to relieve herself. She quietly slipped into her clothes and out of bed and tiptoed to the bathroom, trying not to wake him.
After she was done, she found herself wide awake and decided to step out onto the balcony, the allure of sleep eluding her for the time being.
