CHAPTER 81 A Bitter Wake Up

  Elsie's POV

  The next morning rolled around quickly, and as I opened my eyes, my head hammered with pain. Pulsing through my eyes and forehead, I had almost forgotten what a hangover this bad had felt like. It was something I had experienced since I was a student.

  Turning in bed for comfort from Theo, I realised my mate had left my side. As my eyes began to adjust to the natural light in the room, I squinted with one eye as I looked at the clock on the nightstand. It was the afternoon, 2 pm in fact. 

  I haven't laid in until this late in the day since I was a teenager, but I guess I should roll out of bed and make myself decent to start the rest of the day.

  Throwing myself into the shower, the hot water against my face and skin felt welcoming and eased my head pain a lot. I lost track of time standing there, but eventually surfaced to finish getting ready.
