        <strong>SHDYCF2 Chapter 29 Strained Relationships</strong><strong>CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE</strong><br />Strained Relationships<br />Sylvie woke early the next morning feeling as if she hadn&#8217;t slept a wink and somehow practiced Jujitsu. Everything felt stiff and her eyes felt gritty and gummy as she rolled to her belly off the pillow and stretched.<br />With a heave she gained her feet and walked as softly as she could into the house, her hooves thankfully muffled by the thick carpet on the ground.<br />Relieved she&#8217;d made it that far without disturbing anyone, she walked into the backyard, not even really seeing the razor wire coils ontop of the plain wooden fence with outward-facing cameras and the occasional flicker of shadow in the wood slats denoting an agent on patrol.
