She woke up the next day around 3:30 in the afternoon. She sat up and stretched, cracking her joints and yawning.

It took my breath away the way light hit the side of her face.

"Where am I?" She asked, while pushing her hair off her forehead.

I gestured to the blue sky outside.

She whipped around. "Why are we in Portland? I live almost 3 hours from here. Is this where you live? Because I don't need you to take care of me. I had the whole situation under control yesterday and-"

She cut off as I turned to head into the kitchen. Virginia let out an exasperated sigh and followed me through the apartment.

"This could be counted as kidnapping you know. I'm gonna call the police on you and you're gonna get arrested fo-" I grabbed her by the shoulders and spun her around so she was facing the door. I gave her an exaggerated bow and motioned toward the door.

"Oh, okay, I get it. So this is some of that reverse psychology shit, isn't it? You're pointing me towards the door because you think that's what I want to do but you really just want me to stay. No way, buddy, I'm out of here." She swung open the door and slammed it shut. Not even five seconds later, she sheepishly opened the door again and avoided eye contact with me as she put her shoes on and grabbed her backpack.

"Hey man, don't follow me. I have 911 on speed dial." I just shook my head, keeping my back to her as she slipped out the door again.
