Five o'clock, Charlotte Green awoke at this time again.
She felt as if every bone in her body had been disassembled.
She held her forehead, feeling panicked, uncertain of what her other self had done the night before.
As long as she didn't wake up to find a naked man lying beside her.
Putting on shoes and getting out of bed, she went to pull back the curtains, looking out at the still dark sky and sighed softly.
Always waking up at this hour, she seemed unable to shake the habit, perhaps some habits could take a lifetime to change.
With the day still early and unable to fall back asleep, Charlotte picked up "The Pregnancy Bible" from the bedside table and started to flip through it. Although she was slow, she was determined to be a calm mother-to-be, ready to welcome her baby.
