Lost in thoughts, Esmeralda gazed at Ophelia, who remained unconscious on the bed. She stroked her cheek, sighing softly every minute from a combination of slight weariness and worry. Ophelia's wedding was two weeks ago, and all that time she had been unconscious.

Since then, Esmeralda has spent the majority of her time taking care of Ophelia, particularly in light of the fact that she had a high temperature. Lev had insisted repeatedly that it was because she hadn't used her dragon fire to warm herself in a long time.

"Passing out..." Soaking a damp cloth in a bowl of water, Esmeralda trailed off. "You are totally missing your wedding night and your honeymoon."

A small smile crossed her lips as she gently put the cloth over Ophelia's head. "Wake up, please. I can tell you and Nikolai are having a great time scaring me."
