Clara woke up early on a bright Tuesday morning. She had an important presentation at her design company today. Sunlight streamed through her bedroom window onto her cotton sheets. She stretched her arms and smiled with excitement and nervousness. First, she walked into the kitchen to start her routine. She put a pot of water on the stove. While the water heated, she decided to make breakfast. She poured oats, seeds, and dried fruit into a bowl. Then, she opened the refrigerator to get some oat milk. She poured the cool oat milk into her breakfast bowl. After eating, she washed her bowl and wiped the counter. Now, it was time to check her morning schedule. Clara reached into her pocket for her mobile phone. However, her pocket was completely empty and clean. That is strange, she whispered to herself in confusion. She usually kept her phone on her wooden nightstand overnight. She walked back into her bedroom to search for it. She lifted the soft cotton pillows and looked under them. The phone was not on top of the mattress either. Next, she checked under her bed among the shoes. Only her synthetic running shoes were sitting in the dark.
