Swan hurriedly finished her bath. She was only doing it to wash off the dirt and mask Rock's scent with soap anyway.
She wore a new nightgown that the cat maids had prepared and walked out of the bathroom with her crutches.
She saw that Gale was already sitting on the bed, resting his body on the bedpost while staring at the open window.
He glanced at Swan for a second before shifting his gaze back to the window.
Swan knew instantly that Gale would be upset for a while. Normally, he would quickly approach her and carry her back to the bed.
Swan bit her lower lip. She felt sad and wronged, but at the same time, she realized that she had no right to feel so, because she was the one who helped Rock to escape, even though Gale didn't know about that yet.
