With the new moon festival just one night away, Blaize returned from her duties later than usual. She tried to hurry through her bath and to get ready for dinner as quick as she could.
Soon she was properly dressed and on her way for dinner. A light smile played on her lips as she made her way to the main dining room. She was thinking of seeing Selene after dinner and she could not just wait!
Even though they would have more important conversations than just about books, she was still looking forward to it.
Every moment spent with Selene was comforting and interesting. It was the first time Blaize had ever experienced such a relaxing feeling when talking to someone—the first time she felt like she was being heard, the first time that she was allowed to express herself with a clear voice. She felt lighter these days and knew it was because of her new friend . It had to be.
