I wake up without Calais on my side. I rub my eyes and look around the room. His robe is missing and not hanging beside mine. I stand up and wear my robe.
Still dizzy with sleep, I leave the room. In the novel, it is mentioned that Calais stays at his office whenever he needs to think hard about something. I need to be with him during these times, or else he will forget about all the things we shared.
Arriving at my destination, I hold the doorknob and am about to twist it open when I hear a crashing sound inside the room. I freeze.
"Young Master!" It's Marilen. "Stop hurting yourself!"
"I am so confused, Marilen! I need to punish myself!"
"What for?! You have always been kind to everyone."
"To Lyrica! Who else?! She loves me!"
"That woman loves no one!"
"She does. She knows what love is. I've been under her love for quite a while."
