I found her very comfortable to stay with, by the third day I felt we were living together since a long time...A couple of days later one evening I called her to tell her thatI will be back late in the night as I was going out for dinner with my office team... and asked her to have dinner and sleep... It had rained in the evening... when I reached home I found that she had slept so I went to my room and retired for the day. The next day was Saturday, I woke up late and found she was still.
