Chương 131: The Lounge Meeting 2

Claire thought she'd been dreaming. She heard the desk phone ringing and ringing, and it all seemed so far away. She thought she had gotten up from the bed and walked over to the living room to answer the phone, but like in all dreams, she moved so sluggishly, as though she were underwater. And halfway she realized that no matter how much she tried walking over to the phone, she couldn't reach it, like she's walking on a treadmill. She starts running, but to no avail as she appears to be running in place. The phone rings and rings and it would reach a fever pitch until, finally, Claire suddenly opens her eyes and sees the vaulted ceiling of her bedroom, softly illuminated by concealed pin lights.
