A warm wave of Relief, washed over Selene as Isolde entered, a breakfast tray balanced in her hands. Having spent the entire night with her, Selene hadn't dared to hope for Isolde's comforting presence this morning.
She had needed it though and she had hoped for it but she had not expected it.
Hopefully now that Isolde was here, she would not look forward to a sad and long day.
"Isolde!" Selene's voice, a bright sunbeam in the quiet room, greeted her, and she swung her legs off the bed, eager to face her friend.
"That's quite the warm welcome!" Isolde chuckled, a genuine smile gracing her lips, pleased to see the sparkle in Selene's eyes. "You look happy by my presence."
"It's always good to see you," Selene responded, her voice softening as she reached out, taking Isolde's hand and giving it a gentle squeeze. Isolde's arrival was a much-needed respite from the relentless tide of thoughts about Zephyr that had plagued her all night.
