I flipped the pillow over and tried to go back to sleep. Tap tap tap. It sounded like someone knocking at the door. “Who the hell is out at 4:36 on a Tuesday morning?” I thought to myself as I blindly felt around the nightstand for my glasses. I looked over at Michael, envious that my sleeping boyfriend didn’t have…
