I leaned against the counter as I looked out the window, holding my cup of coffee as I stared into the backyard lit by the afternoon sun. I glanced at my calendar, sighing to myself as I realized it was Monday again.
"Hmm," I sipped on my drink, the insanity of the past two weeks finally starting to feel far away. Bellas had given me the weekend to fully recover from being unsealed and I closed my eyes, opening my wings as I worked on my drink. Being able to hide my wings was definitely a perk of unlocking the first bit of Cerviel's power, and I also noticed my appearance had gone back to normal. My eyes and hair were still darker than before I was first sealed, but the bright red roots and golden sunburst had disappeared, making it easier to hide that I had been unsealed. Not having to crush my burned wings against my body was the greatest relief however, and I glanced up as Lee flew down the stairs.
