Chapter 30 - Chapter 29

The flickering light of candles illuminated Aurora's dark bedroom, casting shadows against the walls. The flames danced in the still air, casting a warm glow that enveloped the room. Slowly, she made her way to the large, wooden tub filled with steaming water. A fragrant, floral scent hung in the air, filling the room with a heady aroma. Gently, she sank into the hot water, letting it lap against her skin. She closed her eyes and exhaled, letting the tension drain from her body. The echoes of the day's tumult still resonated within her, but the gentle lull of water provided a momentary escape.
