'I was supposed to be up with that man and… ahhh!' 

Valerie's eyes fluttered open, and a sharp gasp escaped her lips as she regained consciousness. The hazy fog that had enveloped her mind slowly lifted, revealing a dimly lit room filled with an air of tension.

Vincent's voice, resonating with authority, broke the silence. "I see you've finally awakened," he remarked, his piercing eyes studying her intently, casting a penetrating light within the confines of the small room.
