The Cursed Luna~
Katherine sat up, groaning slightly as her body still ached, but she felt far better than she did yesterday. She leaned back against the bed, wondering what was keeping Kieran. He had a meeting to attend, and while he almost canceled it, she eventually made him go. Now, it was already late noon, and he still wasn't back.
Just as she adjusted herself on the bed, the door burst open, and Kieran stepped in with a bouquet of flowers in his hands.
"Kieran, you didn't have to-" Katherine didn't get to complete her words as Astrid suddenly popped out from behind Kieran.
"Katherine!" Astrid's voice cracked as she rushed over to her, her eyes already brimming with tears. "Girl, you gave me such a fright." She croaked out before pulling her into a tight hug.
Katherine chuckled wetly as she wiped her eyes dry. "Me? You gave me such a fright," she said hoarsely.
