A Mask They Put On..

 "Here's the soup Milady." Agnes dropped the tray on her bedside table, and took two steps back away from her.

Anna sat up on the bed, she looked at the soup that was evaporating with heat, followed by the pleasant smell that came along with it, signifying it was still hot, but that was what she needed right now to ease her system. Too bad she had to run into Lady Odette and instead of pleasing the elder lady of the house, she ended up heightening the feud between them. Just hopefully, Lady Odette will take her advice this time around and understand she means no harm.

Carrying the tray and placing it on her lap, Anna used a spoon to fetch a spoonful before taking it into her mouth. She didn't mind the hotness, she liked the feeling of it burning her tongue, and feeling the warmness go down her throat was unusually satisfying, but apart from that, the soup actually tastes good.
