But at least it allowedto help Anya and spend more twith her, so | wasn’t complaining now.
It was nearly midnight on the night before the event when disaster struck. I'd been working on the final section
of beading along the hem, my eyelids drooping from exhaustion, when my elbow knocked into the container
holding the extra beads.
Tseemed to slow as the container tipped, then tumbled off the edge of Anya’s bed. Glass beads exploded
across the floor and scattered in every direction.
“Oh no,” Anya gasped, scrambling to her feet. “There's no tto buy more beads and | need that exact amount
for the dress, so we have to make sure we find them all!”
I nodded, already jumping up and helping Anya pick up the spilt beads. They seemed to have multiplied when
they fell, hundreds turning into thousands upon thousands. A good portion of them rolled underneath the door
and into the hallway.
“I'll go get those,” | said once we'd cleaned up the main mess in the room, already moving toward the door. “You
keep working on the beading.”
Anya nodded, looking just as exhausted as | felt, and sat back down on the bed with the container of beads and
the dress. | quietly slipped out the door, taking care not to wake the other sleeping
servants.
Beads were strewn across the hallway. | carefully crawled around, picking up each one and tucking it into my
pocket. Just as | was reaching for the last one, however, my hand hit it and it rolled away down the corridor like it
had a mind of its own.
Sighing, | stood and practically chased the damn thing down the corridor, watching it zigzag across the polished
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwood floor. It rolled past the library, past the sitting room, and somehow even gained momentum as the chase
continued.
Finally, it slowed and rolled through a doorway that had been left slightly ajar. | pushed the door open wider and
stepped inside without paying attention to the room | was walking into.
The bead had cto rest against the leg of a massive bed.
| bent down to pick it up, closing my fist around the cool glass. Only then did | look up and realize where | was.
Alexander's bedroom.
My breath caught as my eyes fell on him.

Alexander was asleep, sprawled across the dark sheets wearing only a pair of pajama pants. His chest was bare,
rising and falling with deep inhales and exhales. His legs were tangled with the blanket, and one arm was flung
up over his head, fingers partially tangled in his red hair.
He looked so...
Handsome.
So much like the man | had fallen for once, even for those brief months. The man who used to tangle up with me
in those very sheets, whose chest | could run my fingers across, whose green eyes met mine in the morning.
The man | loved for that little window of bliss between all of the bad things.
