Elara I woke up late the next morning. I slept on the floor. My whole body was sore. I exhale and get ready for my day. Zuriel didn't come back to the room after he left. Is he with River? I wonder. I feel hurt in my heart at the thought of that. I look in the mirror. My eyes are big and red, a clear sign I cried a lot. This morning, I decided I wouldn't let what happened with Zuriel last night affect me. He wants to live separately, fine by me. I take a long hot shower to relax my muscles and then fix my messy hair and makeup. I wear a floral white sundance dress and sandals. Tonight is the night my family and friends come for dinner. I start by confirming with them if they'll attend. I call Khai. It's been a while since we spoke. "Hello," he answers the phone gruffly.
