Valerie The remaining two days flowed by like water through a stream. I hadn't realized how exhausted I was until I'd practically fallen dead asleep after returning from the hospital. Immediately I woke up that day, I made all the provisions for his return in the meantime. Sophia and the other maids helped attend to me during that time and the rest of the servants deferred to me for orders. For the past few days, I had been making any arrangements I could. I was no longer Luna yet it felt like it while I gave orders, organising things. I hadn't realized how much I missed it until now. I felt more at peace, the weight of the responsibility lighter, more welcoming. I constantly moved between the pack house and back to the hospital whenever I was done, staying with Tristan throughout.
