Allie awoke with a start, and sat up in the wooden chair. Her back was aching and the desk lamp was still on.
What time is it?
Her head foggy, she turned the alarm clock to face her. Two o’clock in the morning.
Must have fallen asleep at my desk.
She was sitting in front of the open window, a stack of papers spread out in front of her. After her meltdown she hadn’t been hungry, so she’d skipped dinner and stayed in her room to catch up on her reading.
The last thing she could remember was reading The Rules.
