*Eliza*
I was going absolutely crazy. Mila kept me on bed rest while she treated my ribs.
I’d been stuck in the same room since we got back to the village. Mila wouldn’t let me do anything for myself.
“Eliza, you need to lie still. If you keep twisting around, you’re going to break your ribs again,” Mila warned, grabbing my arm so I couldn’t reach across the bed.
“I can reach for my own glass of water!”
Mila grinned and shook her head. “You remind me a lot of Ciana and how feisty and independent she was growing up.”
“I’ve been on bed rest for days. Shouldn’t my ribs be healed by now?”
Mila frowned slightly. “Under normal circumstances, yes, but it wasn’t the rock that caused your ribs to break. It was the spell that Hestia cast. Magical breaks take longer to heal.”
I sighed and nodded.
“Knock, knock. Can we come in for a visit?”
Giselle knocked on the door frame and came in, holding a fresh bouquet of flowers. Scarlett was right behind her with a box of chocolates.
