Sunshine crept through the wooden flats of the bedroom blinds. I stretched, arching my lower back and reaching my hands and flexing my fingers until they reached the headboard. My fingers wrapped around the sturdy, inlay wooden slats. I'd chosen this headboard specifically for its strength and the ease with which one could be tied to it. I hadn't gotten to really test its durability, however. I glanced over at the bedside table and internally panicked when I saw the time illuminated on my alarm clock. With the previous night's events, I'd fallen asleep without setting my alarm. I hadn't missed class yet, but if I didn't hurry, I was going to be late. I'd showered the previous night, but I'd worked up quite a sweat spending the evening with Hunter. I unfortunately didn't have time to shower if I wanted to make it to my morning class. My initial instinct was to bolt out of bed and rush around the house, but I had the presence of mind to remember the girl soundly sleeping beside me.
