Ann called as soon as she saw me.I saw the smile on her face. It's so obvious she has a big gist for me and I couldn't wait to hear what it was.On the other hand the smile also was a teasing smile.I got in without replying to her."What's wrong?" she asked, still smiling."Why are you all smiling and looking at me in that way?"

I felt someone close to me.I was still fighting with my Brain which wasn't fully awake. trying to comprehend if it was real or a dream."You seemed tense."
