After yesterday's tiring day, It was a pleasant surprise for me when I woke up feeling rested and refreshed. I looked around the room, Brielle was sleeping on the next bed, and I remembered where we were. The light was dim, and I couldn't tell if dawn was breaking or not. I decided to get dressed and go out to check on the situation. After dressing up, I washed my face with water from the flask.
I made a mental note to ask Jimena how they bathe and clean their faces in the morning. I really needed a bath.
I left the room quietly, leaving Brielle to continue her sleep blissfully.
It had begun to dawn.
Male voices reached my ears from the deck, but I ignored them and headed straight to the kitchen this time. The door was open, and I saw the fire burning intense in the stone hearth.
"Good morning, Serena. Come in. Just on time." Jimena's voice surprised me. From the door's opening where I was standing, she was not visible.
