ALISSA
Alissa opened her eyes and found herself in her own bedroom.
Damneth!
Stubborn men! Silly wizards!
She flung off the covers, allowing the cool air to soothe both her body and her temper. She could help True. She knew that whatever his troubles, she could help him. If only he would let her. Glancing at her clock, she saw that she had several hours left before she had to ready herself for work. She needed the sleep, but she felt too restless to lie down and close her eyes. All she would do was think about True…and about what had caused him such concern.
Oh, to the Moon with sleep. For once, she wanted to enjoy the day. Rarely did she wake early enough to enjoy the sunlight. Her one day off a week was spent doing errands and housework.
