MARGARET POV

I trudged through the front door, exhaustion weighing me down like a heavy cloak. The soft glow of the evening lights enveloped me, but I barely noticed, my eyes fixed on the couch. I collapsed onto the plush cushions, feeling like I'd never move again. The thought of climbing the stairs to my room seemed like an insurmountable task.

As I adjusted my gown, I heard the soft rustle of footsteps. I sat up, smoothing my hair, and forced a tired smile onto my face. "Good evening," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

The maid returned my greeting and began to walk away. I called out to her, "Is Aaron here?"

She turned back, her expression sympathetic. "No, he's not back yet."

I watched her disappear into the hallway.

Why couldn't someone carry me up to my room.
