Morning greets them with the sound of the alarm. Danielle groggily silences the alarm, by selecting the snooze button. She lies there knowing she wont go back to sleep, but welcomes the time to relax.

Martin still soundly sleeping has not been stirred by the alarm at all. The room is silent. The building seems to echo in the same silence.

Once Danielle is aroused she gets up and looks out the window. She does not see or hear any traffic out there. She assumes that they are away from the highway, thus she can’t hear traffic. Which for them, is fortunate, since they were in need of some much needed rest.

Danielle walks over to Martin and checks his forehead for any sign of a feever. He feels cooler to the touch but still clammy. “Hon you gotta wake up and drink more water, it would also be a good idea to take more motrin” She instructs. Martin turns to her and pulls her close to him. She responds by embracing him. He kisses her on the lips. ” I feel much better now, thank you” He smiles with a weak smile
