The sound of waves was soothing, and the smell of the sea air was too. I was beginning to see why this isolation had its perks.
I've been so cluttered ever since my breakdown hours ago, but the silence helped as well as being alone. Ares hadn't come to the room, and I was grateful he didn't because I couldn't bear the sight of him right now.
The sudden clatter made me sit up quickly. "Ares?"
It had to be him lurking around.
I got off my bed and grabbed my robe. I slid the door open and stepped out, that noise getting louder.
"Quick now, and be quiet with that."
"Okay, mama."
Mama?
"Quiet! Madam may be sleeping and—" The woman paused her words when she saw me.
There was a little girl next to her holding the cutlery. I think they were in the middle of arranging dinner.
"H-Hi..." I waved with a smile on my lips.
"Oh, madam, I'm so sorry. We woke you up! I told you to be quiet."
"I was quiet, Mama!"
"It's okay, really. I'm glad you did." I came closer.
