Come Love A Stranger

Mariah felt like she had only been asleep when she heard Kayla on the door, she groaned and turned on the bed, wishing she could ignore the knock but it kept coming. She covered her ear with her hand but it did not block the annoying sound. Groaning, she sat up on the bed, /"come in!/" she yelled, waiting for her to open the door.

Kayla had already sensed the anger in her voice when she allowed her inside and was wondering what she had done wrong, /"good morning my lady,/" she greeted as she pushed open the door.

/"What is so good about the morning if you would not so as let me enjoy it?/" Mariah asked angrily.

/"I am sorry my lady, please pardon me but it is the time I usually help you dress up and do not forget, you would be escorted to the palace in due time./"
