Tom entered slowly his bedroom. He brought some tea in a small blue cup. The smell of lemon spread all over the place. He looked around and sat on his favorite armchair, which was standing next to his enormous bed. There was a big, white, fluffy blanket so Tom could cover his legs. He looked out the window.
