Early the next morning, the sun was streaming in the room through the vertical blinds on the sliding glass door. Sarah woke first with a moan. Everything hurt. The understatement of the universe, she felt. Her head seemed to be taking the majority of the discomfort and was stabbing in pain from the sunlight.

“Hello?” she whispered quietly and cracked one eye for a moment when there was no response. She quickly shut it again when the light hit her. She tried carefully to roll over and managed to make it to her side. She lay there for a bit, arm flopped over the side of the couch dangling. Sarah just lay there for quite some time and eventually drifted back off to sleep.

When she awoke again, it was to a faint touch on her brow. “Sarah, how are you doing?” she heard Matt whisper to her. It sounded like a shout to her pounding head. She groaned and flinched at her own sound of pain. She kept her eyes closed and gave a thumbs down to him.

Matt grinned at her. He was happy to see she had not been ill in the small can, nor on him since he slept on the floor nearby. He had heard soft little snores occasionally last night and it made him smile. The thumbs down was simply adorable and he fought back a laugh, not wanting to cause any more sounds to hurt her aching head.

Sarah quietly uttered, “If you were a semi, I would think you had run over me, backed up and rolled on over again,” she breathed, “but it's slightly better than earlier” as she cracked open her eyes and managed a small frown. She saw him smile at her as he offered to get her some water. She felt him continue to gently stroke her hair back away from her face.

Sarah managed to sit herself upright eventually and just slouched down on the couch. “I feel like such a bum,” she later said quietly as she just lay, a sheet and blanket pulled over her. Her legs strewn out in front of her lazily. “I have really never called in, ever, much less followed it up with a night of boozing,” she said dejectedly. “but then again, I have never had such a horrible run of luck.”

Matt nodded in agreement. “You earned each drink, you know?” he said sympathetically. “Let’s not let it get you down; let’s let the police do their work and focus on finding the criminal...but we also need to come up with a plan for you too, so you are safe.” That was his top priority today. Spend time with her and come up with a way to make sure she could take care of herself if she was alone.

Sarah waved him off, there was nothing left to really take at her place since it was all destroyed and had been thoroughly gone through. As for the bakery, she had not heard yet on the fingerprints but was expecting to hear any time.
