After helping Evenly make her sleeping bedroll in the living room, where she would sleep with her babies since there was no other warm room ready for her, Belle made her way to their own bedroom. Rohan had mentioned building another part of the house for Evenly and her twins, but until then, she would have to make do with a bedroll, as the other bedrooms upstairs had no furniture or a warm fireplace to keep it cozy.
They couldn't discuss expanding the space now, not with Rohan's condition and the harsh winter pressing down on them, so until things were expanded, they would all manage this way, and thankfully, Evenly had no problem sleeping in the living room.
For the fourth time that evening, Belle felt a pang of guilt and pain for her friend whenever she recalled the depth of grief in her red eyes whenever the mention of Rav came up.
I hope she heals from it, Belle thought, walking up the narrow steps to their room.
