Chapter 17: New Stitches

<strong>*Eris’ POV*</strong>

When the door clicked shut, I let out a relieved breath and rolled onto my back. A moment later, there was a soft knock.

"Come in," I called wearily.

I had the weird sensation of deja vu; a soft knock at the door and then evil entering the room.

Messene entered with a small tray of food and a smile on her face. "Breakfast, Kyrios." She moved silently towards the side of the bed.

I made a gagging sound as she approached. "I asked you not to call me that, Messene. Just Eris, please."

With a pleasant smile, she inclined her head to me in apology and placed the tray on the table next to me. It was a simple breakfast as I'd confessed to her before that the rich and heavy breakfasts were a bit much for me so soon after waking in the mornings.

"Is there anything else that you require of me, Eris?" She stood there, hands clasped before her diligently.

I smiled and shook my head. "No, thank you."
