Rosalind felt as if something abruptly pulled her into out of the limbo. It was as if she was being sucked from that dark limbo, and the next thing she knew, she was already inside another room.
She opened her eyes and squinted at the lights seeping through the blinds. The scent of tea drifted towards her. She immediately turned to the side and found Lucas staring at her.
"Lucas?" she called, wondering if this was somehow a dream or even a hallucination.
"You have been asleep for too long..." Lucas got up and walked towards the large canopied bed where she was lying. Seeing this, she tried to sit down, only to feel a sudden jolt of pain all over her body. She grimaced.
"Slowly..." Lucas sat down next to her and helped her sit up, adding a few pillows behind her, and using them to support her back. "It will disappear soon." His tone was gentle as if he was afraid she would somehow break if he raised his voice.
