Chapter 6 by Johanna

What's next?

A surprisingly quiet evening

You sincerely and warmly thank Peter and others for taking that stance and realise that the working day (the last "normal" one for a long while) is practically over. The usual buzz of goodbyes is... well, usual, which you take to be a good sign. You are glad the Rulebook did not change you into a complete monster, merely into someone your subordinates would be annoyed with and happy to spank properly, but not really hate.

After the emotions of the day (even though little actually took place) you expect to be very agitated in the evening... But instead you find yourself too exhausted to do anything once you make it home via your usual route (you barely remember actually getting there). You just want to conserve your energy so you manage a light leftover dinner and all but collapse into bed although not before triple-checking that the Rulebook is secure and your alarm is on.
