Haven (2011)
“Sitting up in bed, I winced, feeling slightly queasy. My head was pounding, and for a moment I wondered if someone had slipped something into my drink the night before.
I shoved off the covers with a moan and stood, looking around for my bag. But when I looked over at the still-sleeping Cece, I stopped short.

At once her body jerked and she sat up, gasping for air. “Hey, why’d you do that?” she asked.MoreLess
