Zara
On the 27th, the storm finally died down. Asbela and Kaysir returned from vacation, and I was glad to see them.
I was finally able to leave the pack house; I felt trapped there because of the storm, and also because of someone else.
That same day, I realized my first pregnancy test, which was too early, so I took it again.
This worried me, and I decided to go out and take a rapid pregnancy test with me.
After descending the stairs, I left the pack house, and Asbela brought me a mug of coffee.
"Here, this will warm you up. It's still very cold outside." She smiled, and I nodded gratefully, taking the mug.
After leaving, I stepped out into the half-frozen garden. Snow covered the flowering bushes, the grass, the pool, and the seating area.
The sky was musty, but at least the icy wind had died down.
