No

You were woken up by Jenna shaking your shoulder. Your head was foggy, but that always happened when you fell asleep in the car.

“Come inside. I already brought the bags in, so you don’t have to worry about that, but I think you might prefer sleeping on a real bed to this,” she told you in a quiet voice.

The sky was a dark blue, like the sun had just set. You could hear crickets and heat bugs buzzing in the trees, and the lake birds singing here and there. Jenna walked you inside and laid you down on the bed in the guest bedroom and tucked you in.

“Goodnight Jenna, thank you,” you said groggily. She smiled warmly as she closed the door.

LATER THAT NIGHT

You hadn’t been sleeping for a while now, but you had only just gotten awake enough to realize you were awake. You checked your phone to see that it was about one in the morning. Figures that sleeping all day would interrupt your sleep at night.

You knew you weren’t getting back to sleep, so you decided to get up for real. The night was silent except for the hum of the refrigerator and the occasional croak of a toad. You walked out of your room and saw that the master bedroom’s light was on and the door was open. You walked over and announced your presence.

“Can I come in?” you asked Jenna.

“Yeah, that’d be great. Sit down.” She was lying down, and gestured to the part of the bed next to her. “You sleep alright?”

“Yeah, but I can’t sleep anymore. I mean, obviously. Why are you awake?”

“I don’t know. I guess I’m just thinking. I always told myself I’d come back here after I’d done something. It feels weird to be here before I’ve done it.” She looked like she was solemnly distressed, but trying to hide it.

“What did you tell yourself?”
