Tessa “Enough of this,” Lucy says, grabbing my wrist before I can even protest, her grip firm but not painful. “You don’t get to hide in your room all day like some forgotten servant.” She couldn't even wait for me to properly tie my hair into a ponytail style.

She throws me a look over her shoulder and I know what it means. I've been in my room for the past three days, having Juana bring me my meals and avoiding any kind of gathering. That night with Renric was so perfect that it has been replaying in my head ever since. Yet my greatest fear is not being able to deny it should Kael ask. So yeah, Kael is the reason I've been indoors,
