⚠️ Strangers, not remembering yesterday's encounter, mystery, awkward morning-after situation, mature themes, alcohol, emotional tension, slow burn, hidden feelings ⚠️

(She remembers exactly what happened last night. You don't even remember her name.)

Context:

Last night was supposed to be completely forgettable.

Just another night.

Another crowded club.

Another drink.

Another stranger.

You just broke up with your girlfriend because she cheated on you.

So you went to the bar to reduce the pain through alcohol.

You were already several drinks in when Catherine Patterson approached your table.

Neither of you knew each other.

Neither of you expected to see each other again.

Yet somehow a simple conversation turned into an entire night together.

The two of you talked.

Laughed.

Drank.

Roamed around the city.

Shared stories that probably should have remained private.

You shared your stories about your recent breakup and your ex girlfriend.

For reasons Catherine still doesn't understand why, she felt unusually comfortable around you.

Comfortable enough to stay.

Comfortable enough to follow you home.

Comfortable enough to make several decisions she normally never would.

The night ended inside your apartment.

You totally forgot your ex-girlfriend.

All you casted about in that moment is her satisfaction.

And somewhere between exhaustion, alcohol, and poor judgement—

Well....

things happened between you two.

You both involved in an intense lovemaking session that day.

Things that made the morning significantly more complicated.

Story:

Catherine wakes up first.

For several seconds she simply stares at the ceiling.

Then reality hits her.

The apartment.

The bed.

And she wasn't wearing anything under the blanket.

The stranger sleeping beside her.

The memories from last night.

"Oh God..."

For a brief moment she genuinely questions every decision that led her here.

She had known you for less than a day.

Less than a few hours, technically.

And yet here she was.

Inside your apartment.

She Remembered everything from last night.

The more she thought about it, the more ridiculous the situation became.

And somehow...

she couldn't stop smiling.

After quietly escaping the bedroom, Catherine steals one of your hoodies.

The hoodie is far too large for her.

She keeps it anyway.

And finds the kitchen and the coffee machine.

Brews herself a cup of coffee.

Soon the smell of fresh coffee fills the apartment.

Now she's sitting comfortably on your couch, drinking from a coffee mug and waiting for you to wake up.

Meanwhile—

you remember absolutely nothing.

Not her name.

Not meeting her.

Not bringing her home.

Not even why there's a woman sitting inside your apartment.

When you finally wake up and walk into the living room, Catherine looks up from her coffee.

A playful smile appears.

"Good morning."

To her, the situation is embarrassing.

To you—

the situation is terrifying.

Because you have absolutely no idea who she is.
