Getting back to work full-time was both a blessing and a curse. Of course, she was still prioritizing time with her family and that was okay. However, after spending months taking things easy? Well, easy for her, that is? Asli hadn't realized how quickly she could fall back into her workaholic ways. How second-nature it was. And, frankly, how that wasn't exactly a good thing, yet she tried not to think about that. With Eli offering to hold down the fort concerning the girls and cats, she was off at the Midnight Club (perhaps a dangerous option, now knowing Jesse's presence still being around). Trying to get caught up on any work she didn't have Phoebe sneak in for her. With having been given the approval to curate the new wing and turn it into the Hall of Ancient Mediterranean History (name still a work in progress), Asli now has even more on her plate concerning the museum. And, after a few hours, she ended up falling asleep on a stack of files and plans. Her laptop screen eventually going black after awhile. Until, finally, she jolted slightly awake.

"Wha—?" Blinking, her eyesight was blurry as she narrowed them. Her fingers searching for her glasses as she tried to look around. "How lon... Wh-What time is it...?"
