Raelynn sat quietly in the room, the silence making everything feel heavy. Kade had left, and now the space felt far too large, far too quiet. Her fingers played absentmindedly with the edge of her jeans as she glanced around the lavish room. Everything about this place screamed wealth, and she couldn't shake the feeling of being out of place.
Before she could dwell on it further, the door opened with a soft knock. Startled, she looked up to see a woman stepping in, dressed in a neatly pressed uniform.
"Miss Moore?" the woman greeted with a warm yet formal smile.
Raelynn blinked, feeling a bit awkward under the woman's polite gaze. "Uh… yes?"
The woman stepped forward and gave a slight bow. "My name is Hera. I've been assigned as your personal maid by Mr. Vaelorian."
"Oh," Raelynn said, feeling a little taken aback. She quickly stood up, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. "Kade mentioned you earlier. Nice to meet you."
