morning after

The morning after a night out or after two characters have slept together.

Common signs include waking up, being under the covers in bed, looking across the bed at the viewer, dressing, drinking coffee, etc. Whatever the case, there should be a sense of it being the morning after something has happened, and not just any morning scene.
