It only took him a minute to reply but Daria felt like it was an eternity.

I’m sure it wouldn’t hurt. And we can have some more coffee and ‘cold tea’ ;)

She cringed and laughed at herself at the same time.

Deal :)

I should probably sleep now. I hope you sleep well and get over this tired thing soon. Goodnight, Dash.

Thanks, Jake. Goodnight!

A shadow passed over the wall and across the floor.

Where is that coming from?

It rose up before her and had just started to obscure her vision...

“Daria! Get up! What are you doing?”

Daria’s eyes snapped open with a start. She saw her mom standing in the doorway of her room. She blinked a few times to make sure she was actually seeing what she was seeing.

“How long have you been sleeping?” her mom asked with a frown.

“I, uh, I don’t know.”

“Well, get up!”

Her mom stomped off and Daria could hear her heavy footsteps clumping down the stairs. It was her perturbed walk.

She rolled over and looked at her tablet to check the time.

61 minutes! What the heck?!

She checked her alarm.

Maybe it never rang?

But it had worked as scheduled. Apparently, Daria had turned it off in her sleep.

Is that even possible? Why would I do that?

She leapt out of bed and got ready as quickly as she could. As she brushed her hair and tied it back in a pony tail, she thought about the last seconds before her mom had scared her awake.

What was that?

It had to be my mom’s shadow. I was starting to wake up and my brain just confused things, right?

Of course.

It was only like three seconds. What else could it be?
