Sage sighed exasperatedly as she closed the last page of the book, sat down, and stretched her arms out.
She had finished all of the books and was only missing the scrolls.
She got out of bed and took slow steps towards the balcony, where she saw a snowflake falling from the angry dim clouds.
She had been reading all day, had breakfast and lunch, but Cyrus was nowhere to be seen.
Was it because she hadn't left the room?
She didn't want to come out because of her interest in the books, but she also didn't feel isolated or trapped.
She sighed, stretched her arms, and then rested them on the railing, gripping them tightly.
As she stared at the clouded sky, the cold wind stung her skin and she let out a long sigh.
Her mind was filled with knowledge she had gained from books, but mostly Cyrus.
She knew he was busy, but something seemed off.
