Ruth woke up to loud banging on the door of her chamber. She was startled at first, but when she saw Edwin peacefully asleep beside her, her heart was relieved.
She got out of bed and went to open the door, only to find Ida standing there with worry etched on her face. She was about to open her mouth when she caught Edwin's scent and then the sight of his sleeping form on Ruth's bed.
Even in that situation, she couldn't help but smile in satisfaction.
Ruth's cheeks burned pink. She cleared her throat and asked. "What happened?"
The momentary small smile wiped out of Ida's face as the previous worry took its place.
"Luna, it's time."
Ruth blinked dumbfoundedly. "Huh?"
Ida pointed at the sky behind her that was visible from the door. Ruth took a step outside the door to see the sky had already turned dark, and the full moon was staring back at her in its full glory.
The realisation hit her like a bucket of cold water thrown at her face.
"Just give me a minute."
