Since today was a holiday, I let myself sleep in.
Longer than I should have…
By the time I finally opened my eyes and checked the clock, it was already 9:20 AM.
I sat up with a yawn, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. The room was quiet—too quiet. I looked around.
Leona was gone.
I frowned, confused. She was here last night, wasn't she? Then I spotted a folded note on the kitchen table.
I dragged myself over and picked it up.
> [I'll be waiting for you at the meeting spot.
Remember, if you're late, I'm breaking your balls.
—Leon.]
A cold sweat instantly ran down my back.
Crap.
She wasn't joking. Knowing Leona, she'd definitely follow through with that threat.
I checked the time again.
9:23 AM.
"Shit!"
I had no time!
I scrambled to get dressed, still halfway tangled in my shirt as I brushed my teeth with my other hand. I shoved a piece of bread in my mouth, half-burnt from the toaster, and ran out the door with my shoes barely on.
