Chapter 132: Something like what?

When Alicia woke up two hours later, she was surprised to find the bed empty beside her, and she immediately sat up, wondering where Harold had gone off to. The memory of him telling her something this morning flashed in her head, and she tried to remember what he had told her exactly while looking around the empty room. 

Surprisingly, she had had a good sleep. The bed felt like her bed in the real world, so she had a great sleep. She looked down at herself and smiled when she figured he had kept his promise of not touching her. Maybe sleeping here wasn't so bad after all. Because whenever she slept alone in her bedroom, she didn't sleep in peace for fear of those creatures lurking outside the window. But here, she was able to let go of that fear, unconsciously trusting Harold to protect her.
