SLIP IN THE DARK

[Music Recommendation: Love In The Dark ~ Adele]

"Ac-hoo!" Oriana sneezed; she rubbed her nose and walked towards her window, she let down the curtain but left the window open.

The wind was heavier this particular night, threatening to blow out the candles. With Freya still recovering, Oriana had no choice but to do most things by herself. She had refused the help of other maids; there was nobody to be trusted among them.

She went to the bathroom to draw her own bath, adding flowers as she had seen Freya doing, then lit the scented candle. She packed dry towels and placed them on the stool close to her before picking her nightwear, which was a see-through peach gown with tiny sleeves.
