I was still trying to figure out the Miriam thing. She hadn't come to my room that night. Scared of going to the servant quarters, I had to wait until the morning. That was what I was doing.
I was waiting for Miriam to explain to me how she could walk through walls.
I was sure I hadn't imagined the whole thing. Could I have imagined the information she had given me? That was impossible.
The door opened and I straightened my posture expecting Miriam to walk through. To my disappointment, it was another slave. I was angry.
" Do you not know the concept of knocking? " I asked with irritation in my voice.
The anger wasn't meant to be directed at her but she was there at the right time. I wanted to hurt her because I was hurt. I felt guilty almost immediately.
