Light slowly filtered in when Nikki opened her eyes. She rubbed the fogginess from them and looked around, taking in her surroundings.
She sighed after remembering what her dream had been about. It wasn't the first time since the accident that she replayed the medical team's close up experience with the tornado.
Part of her hated the fact that she had fallen asleep. After the show was over, and she'd gone back to her apartment, she'd felt slightly drowsy, so she decided to lie down for a little bit. What she hadn't expected was to blink one second and be asleep the next.
Getting up, Nikki made her way to the bathroom and ran the bath. After getting undressed and taking the bandage off her foot, she sat in the bath and let the warm water caress the tightness in her neck and foot away.
She allowed her mind to wander for a while. That could've been it. The end for us. If it came to the worst, how would it be explained to my family? Would they be told the whole story or a cover up version?'
Nikki fully submersed herself into the water before resurfacing five seconds later. She ran her hands over her hair gently and swept it out of her face.
All too soon for her, the water began to get cold. Taking it as a sign that she had been in the water long enough, Nikki pulled the plug and vacated the bath. As she toweled herself off she thought about her family and friends back in England and the promise she made to keep in contact more often. I'll do it as soon as I'm dressed.
