Uptight Gargoyle

Sunlight filtered in the room through the tall windows and balcony door as the Suis' helpers drew the heavy curtains open.

Olivia stretched her limbs like a cat, slightly swiping Maxen's side of the bed just to check if he's beside her even when she knew he left before the sun rose on the horizon.

For a second, her hand flew to her stomach, gingerly rubbing it in circles as her eyes gazed on the ceiling. She was staring at the crown molding, studying it with cold and blank eyes. 

Soon, a soft and synchronized shuffling of feet against the carpet snapped Olivia from her reverie.

"Where do you want to have your breakfast, Princess Olivia?" a helper dressed in her gray and white housekeeping uniform asked with a smile on her face.

Olivia had to blink twice when it didn't sink in with her that she was the 'Princess Olivia' whom the helper was speaking with. "Oh, I'll eat on the balcony."
