It felt very calm and pleasant. After all this time, Maddie could finally breathe easily without fear of interruption without warning. Maddie stretched her muscles before lifting her legs onto the glass table. She sat in the living room at seven in the morning while waiting for Castelia to prepare breakfast.

"Holy shit!" Maddie screamed hysterically while reading the news she opened.
