When Ember stirred awake from sleep, she looked around the familiar room in a daze before realizing she was inside the guest room of Cornelia's residence.
She sat up in the bed just as the door opened, and the owner of the house came in with a smile. "I guessed you would be awake by this time, Miss. How are you feeling now?"
Ember looked at Cornelia. "I am feeling good. Have I slept for long?"
"Just an hour," the witch replied. "Miss, you must be feeling hungry now."
Ember realized she was in fact hungry. She looked at the window and could guess it was already afternoon and she had missed her midday meal. "Thank you, Lady Cornelia. I would like to eat something."
"You can freshen up. I will have a servant wait for you outside till you're done." Cornelia then excused herself while Ember stepped out of the bed.
