After finishing our individual meals, me and Dan headed up together. I washed my face in the washroom, Dan going after me to wash his face too.

We both laid down next to each other on the bed, holding hands.

But my eyes were wide open. I was too restless to sleep.

Dan must've noticed.

"Want me to talk to you so you can fall asleep?" He asked sleepily.

"How'd you know?"

"You were twitching, like you were restless."

"Wow, you know me so well."

"I do, don't I?"

"Yeah. And sure, I love hearing your voice. Talk to me."

So, Dan began to talk to me softly, in such a soothing way.

It lulled me to sleep. And my eyes closed. Falling asleep to his voice.

- Time Skip -

I woke up to the sound of crying. I bolted up into a sitting position. Dan was laying beside me, like had been. Except now he was crying.

My heart twisted violently.

Dan's cheeks were bright red, as he sobbed.

"Dan?" I said softly.

He whimpered

"It hurts." He cried.

I panicked. "Where hurts?! What happened?!"

"My.... My stomach." He said.

He suddenly sat up and leaned over the edge.

Then Dan then hurled on the floor.

I realized three things at once.

Dan had a stomach bug.

Food poisoning.

The shrimp dish. 

And it was on purpose.
