The warm days turned to cold nights and two weeks went by. When morning crawled on, Hina didn't want to get out of bed just yet.
"Lady Hina" Suki called her, standing over the lady's bed with a tray of breakfast in her hands that smelt heavenly but Hina wasn't ready to get out of bed. Damn it, she had barely gotten enough sleep and her eyes were still heavy. She had spent the better half of the last weeks at the hotel, taking round after round through the hotel, double-checking the rooms, appropriate tableware and foodstuff at the kitchen to wines and all sorts, all in preparation for the envoys' coming. Luckily, with Mr Osamu by her side, things had run more smoothly than she had expected and she was glad she had someone as competent as him around.
"Lady Hina, it's time to get up" Suki repeated like a broken record.
