When Selene heard the sound of the door she thought it was Zephyr. She sat up quickly and her breath hitched in her throat.
But it wasn't him.
It was Isolde with a large tray and an excited smile on her face. She had been looking forward to visiting Selene, the times they spent together were always worth it.
But as Isolde neared Selene, she noticed that her new friend's face was covered in a weak smile and sad eyes.
"What's wrong?" Isolde asked, genuine concern flooding her.
She set the tray on the bedside table and then moved very close to Selene. She took her small hand in hers,
"Hello." Selene said weakly with a smile.
"Hel-lo." Isolde said as she peered closely at Selene's face.
She had been crying. Her eyes were red and puffy. She looked tired and very sad. Isolde delt her heart break. Seeing Selene in this situation weakened her.
"What's the matter?" Isolde asked in a whisper and Selene shrugged.
