Narrow Escape

I was probably too exhausted and too deep in sleep to even realize when he had left the room. Although I dreaded facing Rosabella, I knew that there was no other choice but for me to act natural in front of her. With a heavy heart, I headed for the bathroom for a quick shower before dressing myself so that I would appear presentable. When I met the two of them again, I was surprised at how natural things appeared between the two of them.

"Good morning, Abigail. Did you sleep well?" Rosabella asked before greeting me with a bright and welcoming smile as she motioned with her hand for me to join her and Raphael at the dining table.

"I did," I replied softly.
