Kel woke to the sound of horse's hooves. Still half asleep she wondered which of the boys had gone out for an early morning ride. Ugh. She would have to get up and do glaive practice in a minute or she knw she would never be able to get back into the routine. She finally mustered up enough strength to open her eyes.
This wasn't her room. This wasn't her bed. She leapt up and ran to the window, memories flooding her mind. Good memories. Of her and Neal. She blushed. So that was the reason why she hadn't woken up in her own bed. In the distance she could just see a figure on a horse. She recognized his sloppy riding style immediately.
Kel hummed to herself as she dressed. She was happy and felt strangely at peace with the world. She gathered her belongings and took one lat look around the room. Satisfied, she closed the door softly on the way out.
Under the bed the pregnancy charm lay, its clasp broken.
