~°~Chapter Ninety-seven~°~

I wake up cradled against my mom and I smile softly at her, we had spent the night talking, more like I had been doing the talking while she listened.

And somehow we ended up on her bed where we must have both slept off after a long while, I slowly separated from her, careful to not bother her.

Luckily, she's a peaceful sleeper and it's the holidays too so her alarm isn't going to kick in anytime soon which was a good thing because she really needed her sleep.

I get up and trudge to my room, leaving Apple who was sleeping at the edge of the bed. The kitten had also taken part in the midnight conversations.

It's already 9am, it's much later than I had thought, my mom would probably not be asleep for long.

I rush up to my room to brush my teeth and check my phone while I'm at it, there's a couple missed calls from Shana and texts from everyone.
