The sun rose at its normal time, and eventually the sun rays pierced through the curtains, and landed on the Daughter of the Duke.
Slowly stirring awake, I opened my eyes, happy to see a familiar place. After starring at the ceiling for a couple of minuets, I pulled the IV out gently, letting out a deep sigh of relief when it was out.
Positioning myself against the backboard, I waited awhile for someone to check on the rooms, but no one. Both Elias and Father were asleep at the foot of the bed, not wanting to wake them I reached over to the nightstand for a book.
Carefully grabbing it, I pulled it close to me, and started reading a couple of sentences before my dominate hand started going numb. Reaching over to grab a glass of water, my grip slackened and the glass dropped to the floor. Creating a loud crash, that awoke both Father and Elias.
