Alex woke with a start. "Fuck." She pushed herself up into a sitting position before rubbing her eyes. "I didn't mean to fall asleep." She was really starting to hate this whole thing. It was so much easier when she could just take a nap without worrying about having an existential dread inducing nightmare.
Pushing her hair out of her face, she smiled tiredly at Dan. "This was not really the way I wanted to meet you for the first time. It is nice to meet you in person though, Dan."
Focusing on the fact that she had a visitor and not on what she had dreamed about, she stood. "Do you want some tea?" she asked as she fixed her ponytail. "I think we've got just about every kind imaginable to help you relax and blueberry."
