"Alice..."
Lying across Su Xuan's bed was none other than Alice. Su Xuan suspected she might have had too much to drink and had wandered into the wrong room. She had indeed drunk quite a lot tonight; the moment she got in the car, she had curled up in her seat and fallen asleep.
He walked to the side of the bed and gently poked Alice. She didn't move at all. He poked her again. Still no movement.
I'll just let her sleep here, Su Xuan thought with a smile. It's not like we haven't slept in the same bed before.
He turned and headed to the bathroom to wash up. He had been genuinely busy all day and was drenched in sweat and reeked of smoke.
WHOOSH!
He turned on the shower, letting the warm water cascade over his body. It felt wonderful.
