I wake up.
The morning is bright and everyone is bustling around. I ask.
They won't tell me why. Giving me such strange looks.
Had I forgotten something?
I couldn't even find the Count in his study like he always.
I left for the library.
He let me in there now. His icy complex was warming up and melting away.
I can't seem to get the memory of him holding me to his chest out of my mind.
It lingers like sounds in the garden.
Constantly.
But what I did think of next was what was in the library.
He sat on a chair and held out a book to me.
