Flora got out of the bed and went to wash her face. She looked at herself in the mirror and again broke down. Her sobs echoed in the washroom and for a while, she only cried until they stopped coming.
After washing her face again, she returned to the room. She wished to go back but for Amelie's sake she didn't want to. Returning to the bed, she again stared at the blank wall in front of her.
Taking a deep, steady breaths, she finally calmed down herself. "I shouldn't have run away and explained myself right there. I think I even ruined Juniper's special night," Flora murmured.
She put on the slippers and walked out of the room into the night just to take a stroll. While walking, she realized the palace had an eerie silence at night. But this silence seemed better than the noises that almost haunted her earlier.
As she walked through the empty corridor, her heart finally turned steady.
