Sharon’s hazy eyes focused on the two glasses of milk, resting invitingly on her nightstand. She “hmphed,” and reached out for one, sniffing at the drink. She wasn’t sure how long they’d been out, but they didn’t smell the least bit rancid.
Tentatively, she sipped from one of the glasses, smiling at the taste. She quickly polished the first glass off, and took the other with her when she left her bedroom. It took her a moment to realize she’d forgot a robe; it just didn’t occur to her to clothe herself. She resumed the journey after putting a robe on (though she didn’t tie up the sash).
Julie was waiting downstairs, her bare feet stretched over the side of the recliner. “Hey, party girl. Sleep well?”
“Yeah...I guess,” Sharon murmured, scratching her forehead as she took another generous gulp of milk. “Did I have fun last night?”
Julie gave her a knowing smirk. “You mean, you don’t remember?”
Sharon shook her head absently. Now her legs were starting to itch...
“Don’t worry about it. Relax, enjoy your day off”.
Sharon blinked. “Day off?”
“Your job called; they had a power problem, and told you not to worry about coming in. You’ll still get paid for the day.” Julie said an inward “thank you” on Sharon’s behalf; Pan took care of his own.
“Wow. Cool.” Sharon set about the task of chilling out (after finishing that delicious milk), and spent most of the day unwinding with Julie and alone.
During the day, Sharon felt a growing craving, and finally decided to satisfy it...
