It was an hour, maybe two, when Jack opened his eyes. The room had grown dark but there was still a light breeze through the open window. He blinked a few times at first, confused as to his surroundings and his location, but then it soon dawned.
He wondered, for a moment, where Reinette was. But then logic caught up and he was certain she must just be asleep. Were he more awake, he'd have deemed checking an important issue, but as it stood he was still mostly asleep, and so he could do little but drag himself from the sofa, leaving his coat in his wake, and carrying himself up the stairs and to his bed there.
As soon as his head hit the pillow he was fast asleep again.
Fast and deeply asleep. And though usually he might have woken as soon as light began to filter through the closed curtains, this day was an exception, and he slept long and deeply.
