It was the sound of constant alerts on her phone that pulled Grace out of the depths of her sleep. She blinked against the dim light that was filling the room, feeling momentarily disoriented.
But as seconds passed and her focus adjusted to her surroundings, the memories of the previous night started settling in. She recalled Davian's strong arms around her, Kian's gentle touch, and Rune's usual teasing remarks that accompanied the night before until she ended up falling asleep. Their warmth was still lingering in the air, but there was no sign of any of the three.
She picked up her phone and noticed that it was already ten past eight in the morning, and the alerts she heard moments ago belonged to the notifications of recent breaking news.
It turned out two more countries just encountered the unusual rains - Country S saw Shadow Rain about two hours ago, while Country N was reported to be now filled with zombies after the Blood Rain that happened there about five hours ago.
