******the next morning******
Ioan awoke early the next morning. It took him a second to remember where he was, but the feeling of someone on the bed beside him reminded him. Hoping that Calixa was still asleep, Ioan moved slowly so that he could get dressed and out before she noticed. Last night had been something Ioan had needed to break out of the funk he was in. Calixa had definitely shown him a thing or two last night.
Not wanting to get too comfortable, Ioan climbed out of her bed and quickly put on his pants and shoes, but his shirt was nowhere to be seen. "Where is it?" Ioan muttered as he lifted up the edge of the bedspread to see if it had managed to find its way there. Ioan took a step backward, trying to recall where his shirt might have ended up and stepped right onto his wand. I'll probably need that, he thought as he bent down to pick it up.
