Somehow, the day had gone by too fast, and Maria was not ready for it to end knowing what tomorrow brought.
Even though she had only eaten a few crumbs at breakfast, by the time dinner rolled around, she still wasn't hungry.
Nevertheless, she knew she had to join everyone in the dining room once the sun set.
Maria waited until it was too dark to continue drawing, and she reentered her room and placed her drawing materials upon her table before she made her way over to join everyone.
For the first time this week, she was not the last one to join for dinner.
She entered the dining hall and saw that just her father and Jason were present, so she took advantage of the opportunity since she had been wanting to talk to her father after his big announcement at breakfast.
She stormed right over to him and asked, "Why would you do that to me with no warning? You couldn't give me the chance to talk to Arthur first, myself?"
