Fiery

When Eira returned to the mansion, it was already a few minutes past 10 PM. She didn't bother looking for Jania and instead went straight to her room. She stripped off her dress, took a refreshing shower, and rolled her eyes at the sight of yet another set of Lyle's oversized pajamas waiting for her. Still, she slipped into them, climbed into bed, and began scrolling through her phone. She expected Jania to eventually show up to ask about the dinner, but the hours passed and her friend never came. Slowly, Eira drifted into sleep, her phone slipping from her hands.

As soon as she was sound asleep, the door creaked open, and Jania stepped inside quietly. Standing at the foot of Eira's bed, she smiled softly at the sight of her friend.

"She's asleep," Jania murmured to herself before leaving just as silently as she had entered.
