PEACEFUL SLEEP

I knew I was back in the realm because I could feel the familiar silk sheet beneath me. The smell of lavender also filled my nostrils. A yawn escaped my mouth as I stretched and opened my eyes only to find Ivan looking at me with a smile on his face.

"Well that is very unladylike." He said grinning down at me.

I sat up straight on the bed while giving Ivan a pointed look. "I just had the best sleep I've had in weeks, so I think I'm allowed to be unladylike."

Ivan reached over, patting my head affectionately. "Yeah, I think we can let it slip this once."

My gaze moved over to the window where it was already starting to snow. Winter has already begun, I thought to myself with a wry smile on my face. With the grey cloudy sky, it was a little bit heard to tell what time it was.

Turning to look at Ivan who was still watching me with a look of concern on his face, I decided to ask. "How long did I sleep for?"
