Isabelle felt slightly uncomfortable when the carriage rocked beneath her and shook her from sleep. She hadn't even realized she'd fallen asleep on the ride. She blinked, turning her gaze to her left where Lyov sat.

Lyov offered a slight smile, before glancing back down at his book with a look of mild concentration.

She still couldn't see what was past the abrupt drop in the distance.
