She didn't know how long she had been lying there and staring at her ceiling. The floor was so quiet, as though she were still the only one staying in it.
Was the ferret asleep?
She shook her head to clear the thought. The last thing she should be doing is thinking about anything that concerns him. But yet that was exactly what she was doing…
What if he preferred the company of his new pet to that of hers?
After all, he merely tolerated her…
She laid there, staring at the ceiling, refusing to move from that spot even when it was dinner time. No one would care if she missed dinner…
She was an adult after all.
Despite how long she had laid there, sleep just would not come.
When she was certain dinner time was long over, she changed her dress and went to visit her mother, mostly to ensure that she was… alright.
After knocking twice and receiving no response, her heart began beating faster than normal.
"Mother? I am coming in."
