Chapter Seven(18)
Now dressed in a dark-blue silken dress instead of in white and gold, Cecy looked more like a nineteen-year-old girl and less like the ‘angel’ Lydia had once called her on their first meeting. And speaking of which, Lydia hadn’t called her angel once since their second and more normal meeting.
Shaking off her grogginess with some effort, Cecy swung her bare legs off the comfortable bed, and accidentally shook the covers onto the floor. The white covers landed half on the ground with a soft poof, and Cecy bent down slowly, dragging it onto the bed.

The floor was cool under her bare feet as she tottered towards the mirror in the distance. She hadn’t stepped into it since that unforgettable first time, but it was also useful in reflecting, as a normal mirror would. Cecy straightened her attire, smoothing down the ruffles. Also, it didn’t need to be cleaned, which was a bonus indeed.
