A bright light shone through the window as the curtains were drawn back. Samantha slowly opened her dark brown eyes and there was Mary standing next to her bed. A pitcher filled with hot water was left in the middle of the room and was waiting for her. She sat on her bed for a moment before she got off the bed and walked towards the pitcher. As she splashed the water on her face, the heat of the water soothed her face. She felt its warmth and was very much ready to start her day.
