She wasn't complaining about it being just six months.
How could she when this was technically a surprise boon?
In fact, she was thankful to learn that it had been just six months, not the five life-changing years she had expected.
But for them, who had practically mourned everyone outside, it felt surreal.

Ten days here meant one day outside. And if there was one thing that this knowledge had given her, it was the fact that she could catch up to her husband's time with Luca like this.
She was like a bouncing ball. Thought the Butler, who was observing her closely. Now, this was something he was familiar with.
That look in her eyes and her ability to bounce back. Duchess Amelia had always been like this, and coupled with her husband? Butler Gary thought they were the most persistent bunch despite having shit for luck.
