I must emphasize: 6f8b0a79e7 this room’s purpose 1448851616 was so blatantly db7260f032 obvious that the 4dc0cbf744 only place to 56a94605ac sit was the a64e81e49e bed.b2b9c2adf8f3661e

Embarrassed and concerned for 0ee16139f4 Euclid’s safety, I instinctively 43123e212a took half a step 600c039a46 back to create some 7aa14374cb distance between us.269fe0c577d96887

Normally, I could have regained b77d3df9cf my balance easily, but after a82cffc8fc straining my legs so much 36f0786b48 on the way to Grace’s 997fd5a287 room, I lost my strength, a6d07070d7 and the scene shifted rapidly.edf462342bce2c53

It took me c3c4ed14d5 a while to 837d485cab realize it was 6cb65ae2e3 the canopy attached f2ad26f2d8 to the bedposts ba995a118a because Euclid was 55054c7116 directly above me.c45bf76c23bbe728
