I woke up at 7:30. I was annoyed that I’d fallen asleep. I could hear James snoring beside me. I carefully pulled back the duvet and sneaked to the bathroom. I rinsed my face, trying and failing to look less like a woman who’d had a few hours sleep and vigorous sex. I was still naked and would have to retrieve my clothes from the living room floor. I peeked out from the bathroom, he was still snoring away. I softly padded across the carpet and out through the bedroom door. I found my underwear and dress but couldn’t locate my shoes. I got my things on quickly and began hunting for the lost footwear. Blind panic took hold—I just wanted to get out of the flat. I’d call a taxi in the hall and wait for it outside. 

“Marsha?” He was awake, shit—shit! I could ignore him and leave without my shoes. “Marsha?” He called again, “Are you alright?”

It was no good. I would have to speak to him. “I’m fine,” just trying to find my fucking shoes! I spotted them near the curtains, “go back to sleep, sorry I woke you.” I could hear him moving around. He shuffled out in his underwear.
