So if you want to sleep it off…” She said and lisa shook her head.“I’m not tired.” She replied and Nela raised an eyebrow.“As you wish. I’d get out of those clothes though, you definitely look like you’ve pulled an all nighter still in them.”“Thanks.” lisa said pulling them off and tossing them into the basket. “Have you all eaten?
