On the other hand, Ember was sitting on the bed with her knees hugged against her chest.
She didn't know why she woke up at midnight and couldn't sleep since then.
In fact, she was feeling sleepy but her body didn't let her sleep.
Every time she closed her eyes and was about to drift off, her body would start shivering, and her mind would go blank.
Which would result in her opening her eyes and not being able to fall asleep again.
She didn't know why she was not able to fall asleep.
It was as if there was something inside her that was stopping her from sleeping.
And, no matter how much she tried, she couldn't overcome the force that was keeping her awake.
The only thing she could do was sit still and wait.
Wait for the time to pass and the sun to rise, so that Marine, who was sleeping in the living room, on the couch, could also wake up.
Hence, she waited.
Waited.
Waited.
And waited.
