never sleep on something so soft it feels like it’s consuming
 
 me all night. The headboard and footboard are both done in
 
 curls and flowers, made out of some kind of metal and painted
 
 white.
 
 Steph eyes me and launches herself down on the bed.
 
 She means to sit, but the mattress is so firm that she bounces
