Serena woke up feeling a little fuzzy. Feeling thirsty she roused to drink some water. She looked around and saw herself in her bedroom. She felt strange that she can't remember how she got back. Last she remembered, she had dinner, fell asleep on the sofa in their drawing room while waiting for Charlton's call. She looked at herself already dressed in a nightgown. Did she return to her room last night? She can't seem to recall. Then again, nothing seemed amiss. Well except that she felt like she had a wet dream last night. Did she miss Charlton that much?
After a while, she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Milady, are you awake? May I come in?" a voice of a woman came through the door.
"Please come in." Serena replied.
Mildred came in and bowed to Serena in greeting, "Milady, please, let me assist you for the day."
"Oh, it is you, Mildred. Where is Beatrice?" Serena asked as she massaged the side of her head.
