Elliot was already awake, and she could hear the sounds of him washing up from the bathroom next door. He walked in shortly after, giggling at the sight of her sprawled out on the floor. “You look like one of those fat old cats,” he said nudging her with a foot. She made a half-hearted hiss and pawed in his general direction with one hand.
But he ruined the moment by mentioning, “That guy from before isn't there anymore. I looked, and I can't find him anywhere.”
