AURORA HAS been tossing and turning quite a bit since the ball. the pressure of peace looms over her, infesting her dreams, making it impossible to stay asleep. her heart is racing, fingers tingling as the nerves work their way through her body from head to toe. something feels wrong and it all has to do with her parents. she wouldn’t put it past them to sabotage everything for the sake of their desires. it isn’t long before she slides her legs over the edge of her bed, moving like a ghost into the hallway as these thoughts overwhelm her. she feels trapped beneath their weight – she feels like she can’t breathe. she doesn’t know when her eyes closed but they open and she’s standing in front of the seelie queen’s door. her heart is racing again, but this time for different reasons. lips press together tightly and she inclines her head as she knocks on the door, holding her breath as she waits.
