We left Lumera alone in her room—far too comfortable for her.I was still annoyed by her subpar social skills.Shooing us? Unacceptable.But I wasn't going to start an argument with Scarlette over her.Scarlette pulling me away was a sign—we'd had enough of Lumera for one day.
Like two lovebirds, Scarlette and I held hands as we strolled through the long, majestic palace corridor. It was quiet—most of the palace workers were already asleep, the halls bathed in moonlight and silence.
When we finally reached our chambers, I heaved a sigh of relief, like the weight of the world had slipped from my shoulders. The two of us were wrapped in the soft quiet of our room.
But of course, I wouldn't be me if I didn't make one last dramatic comment.After all, Scarlette called me a diva earlier.
"Hear that?" I cupped a hand to my ear, theatrically."What am I supposed to hear?" Scarlette asked, confused."Exactly." I grinned. "Silence."Scarlette laughed.
