Letting out a small sigh of relief , Teresa cleared her throat and said , “ You must be tired too . Go to bed early . I’m going to sleep now
Jonathan fumed to see her sprawled out across the bed , taking up every inch of space . He frowned slightly . “ Save me some room , or are you expecting me to sleep on top of you ? ”
“ How about you take the couch ? Or better yet , book another room and let me haveske bed ,” she said .
Teresa was already half asleep when Jonathan’s teasing voice cut through , “ Then I just sleep on you – problem solved ”
Her eyes flew open , full of alarm . “ And then you’ll make me wake up at eight tomorrow ? How am I supposed to get any sleep tonight ? ”
“ Eight o’clock appointment means waking up at six thirty , ” he corrected
“ You might as well kill me . I can’t wake up that early ” Terena groaned . Mornings were her mortal enemy , and this was exactly why she avoided early meetings at work .
Dragging herself out of bed was hard enough , and then there was the whole ordeal of makeup and getting ready – it all took
forever
“ Just sleep . I won’t try anything . I promise . Jonathan reassured her , still focused on organizing their luggage . His neat- freak tendencies meant he couldn’t rest until everything was perfectly in place .
Teresa , on the other hand , was the complete opposite . As long as there was a bed , she could sleep anywhere .
Once Teresa was sound asleep , Jonathan gently pulled her into his arms , his gaze softening as he held her close
After a restful night , Jonathan was up by six the next morning , while Teresa dragged herself out of bed at seven , grumbling . “ Ugh , even on weekends , I can’t sleep in . ”
“ Come on , we’re gonna be late Jonathan called out , his tone calm but urging .
Still half – asleep , Teresa shuffled around until she pulled back the curtains . The moment her eyes landed on the endless expanse of the ocean outside , her sleepiness disappeared in a flash .
‘ So , this hotel’s a seaside one she wondered and realized
The sunlight sparkled on the waves , making the view absolutely stunning . Drawn by the beauty , Teresa stepped out onto the balcony , taking a deep breath of the fresh , salty air . The crispness of it cleared her mind , leaving her feeling refreshed and awake .
Teresa was scrolling through Facebook on the way to the traditional medicine clinic when she came across a post from Donald .
Donald had posted it late last night , around 11 PM The picture showed a chocolate birthday cake with roses beside it , along with the caption : [ The happiest birthday ever . Perfect . ]
Teresa was stunned for a moment
Cheryl had commented below : [ Finally happy , my dear brother ]
Teresa fell into deep thought . It was indeed Donald’s birthday yesterday , but what exactly had happened last night ? Teresa showed the past to Jonathan , who glanced at it and asked , “ What’s the big deal ? ”
“ Jennifer didn’t come home last night , Teresa explained . “ She said she was staying at the hospital . And now Donald posts this does it mean he and Jennifer have already made progress ? ”
Jonathan raised an eyebrow . “ Looks like Donald’s moving fast . ”
Teresa shook her head . “ No way . I know Jennifer too well . She’s the slow – burn type . There’s no chance she and Donald could’ve moved this fast . ”
Curious and unable to let it go , Teresa tried calling Cheryl to find out what had happened , but there was no reply Teresa glanced at the time . It was only 7:30 AM . Who wakes up this early , seriously ? she muttered to herself
But the suspense was killing her . She couldn’t just ask Jennifer . She knew Jennifer wouldn’t spill anything All Teresa wanted now was to figure out what had gone down last night
By then , Jonathan had already driven them to the traditional medicine clinic . A long line had formed at the entrance , with at least thirty people ahead of them .
“ So many people : Teresa remarked , a little sufĮ

“ Well , that just proves the doctor’s good . ” Jonathan said , checking his watch . It was 7:40 AM . “ If we’d gotten up at five , we’d be right on time ”
Teresa rolled her eyes .
