Appointed to serve as regent

"Rise and shine." Elva draws back the main curtains.

My eyes try to adjust to the light pouring into the room. I look around Yavannian the covers only to discover I'm still in last night's ball gown. How did I get in bed?

Then it all comes back to me. My fingers brush my lips. Iston. He kissed me. The thought alone brings heat to my cheeks.

"Someone seems to be in a good mood today." She says as she continues to open all the curtains.

I'm so consumed with my own thoughts that I don't hear her.

"What?"

"I said you seem happy this morning."

"Yeah... right." I answer absentmindedly.

I'm sure I was so exhausted from all the crying that I just fell asleep when he left.

"Karinaaa." Elva sings.

"Yes."

"I asked what you'd like for breakfast."

"Umm why don't you choose."
