"Ugh."
There was no response to her meaningful groan.
"Uuugghhh."
Lyov sighed. "Isabelle..."
"I'm DYING." She sighed and flopped forward onto the desk. "I'M DYING. NO. PAPERWORK."
She moaned and buried her head in her arms. She was sprawled on the surface, her head pillowed on the sleeves of her dress and her face turned to the window, the curtains drawn and the sunlight streaming through the panes.
She could hear the chirping of the birds, the rustling of the leaves, and the sound of the wind in the trees.
Her gaze was fixed on the scenery, the colors and the movement and the life. It was a welcome distraction from the piles of papers that were stacked precariously on the desk.
The pages were filled with the scribbles of bureaucrats, the ink dry and the words faded and smudged.
"I should be preparing for the weddiiiinnnggggggg." She whined. "And. Stuff." She couldn't think of any of that. Stuff. At the moment, though.
