Claudia let out a horrified gasp and exclaimed, "I'LL just wash my face and brush my teeth!" She inwardly berated herself for waking up so late.

When Bennett released her, she moved to get out of bed. In her haste, she almost fell over. Immediately, Bennett reached out to steady her.

“Careful! You don't have to hurry, you know?"

Still red in the face, Claudia straightened up and declared, “I'm not in a hurry."

She was not in a hurry at all.
