บท 1987: Capo of Nero Armi (3)

3:02 AM

Emma opened her eyes and blinked her sleepiness away in order to see the time.

She groaned when she realized that she can't sleep anymore. She tossed and turned in the bed, but sleep eluded her. After all, it was 6 PM in Los Angeles and no matter how tired she was, her body took her previous four-plus hours long sleep as an afternoon nap.

Now what?

Emma scooted out of the bed, wrapped a light blanket around her shoulders, and padded her way down the silent hallway in search of the glass of warm milk. That usually helps her to sleep.

The villa was quiet and dark. It was obvious that everyone was sleeping.

The moonlight seeped in through the windows, many of which were open to allow a fresh night breeze to sweep through the villa.

Emma was heading toward the kitchen, but when she saw widely open double doors that led toward the back garden, she stepped outside.
