In the morning, when Dawn Sutton walked out of her bedroom, she saw Basil Jaak sitting at the table having breakfast, and she couldn't help but ask, "When did you get here?"
Basil Jaak turned to Dawn and said, "I came back last night, but didn't want to disturb you. However, the living room was a real mess. At first, I thought there had been a burglary."
Dawn's face flushed. She had been crying and drinking the previous night until she got drunk and fell asleep without even changing her clothes, let alone tidying up the living room. She felt utterly embarrassed about Jaak's teasing.
Dawn gave Basil a firm glare and huffed, "I thought you were in some beauty's arms, I didn't know you had come home!"
Basil Jaak let out a bitter laugh, thinking to himself, you're ironically spot on. If your sister hadn't called, I doubt I would have returned.
