It was evening and Selene was lost in her book, so deep she didn't even notice Isolde come in to the room. Not until a gentle hand touched her shoulder, making her jump in alarm.
"That was a little scary," she chuckled after she had gotten over the shock ot Isolde's sudden appearance.
She set her book down, and Isolde walked towards her with her eyes observant.
"You look well," Isolde said, a wave of relief washing over her as she saw the sparkle in Selene's eyes. She glanced at the thick book on the bed and smiled. "Did Lady Blaize bring you a new one?"
Selene's eyes practically danced with excitement as she nodded. "She brought me three books, Isolde! Can you imagine? I feel like I'm floating on clouds. I'm… happy."
Isolde watched her, a warm admiration filling her. Selene truly did look happy. Her beautiful sapphire eyes shone even brighter, and her face was flushed with joy as she spoke. She looked like a perfectly sculpted doll.
