Colin groggy vision cleared up as he looked around the pine green walls and eyed up some pictures on the wall. And then he recognized a couple faces; the nurse he was in bed with and the Doctor in his doorway.
“Oh hey Zoya.” Colin meekly smiled. “What’d you say?”
“I tried making breakfast but I messed it up.” Zoya said as she held out a bowl of watery beige sludge topped with charred turkey bacon and undercooked eggs. “I was watching Babish while you two were getting busy and I thought I’d try and surprise you.”
He watched the doctor frown with a blush “Sorry, I was up way too late at work.”
Colin gagged “It’s fine, I’m not hungry, I just need some Tums and a cup of coffee…”
“Where did you go last night?” Zoya asked.
“Shara took me drinking… everything after round five is kinda a blur…” Colin groaned.
“That doesn’t add up…” Zoya said “Lori had dinner with her parents last night…”
“Wait, he wasn’t with you?” A voice asked from the hallway.
Colin leaned to his left to see who Zoya was staring at.
“Oh hey Lori!” Colin smiled, “Lori brought me here after her dinner with her-“
Wait.
The three looked at each other and then back at the lump under the guest bed sheets.
“I had so much wine last night… Colin was at the door and I thought you got him an Uber….” Lori said.
“Well, only one way to see who’s there….” Colin said as he nervously grabbed the sheet and yanked it off.
