A yawn escaped her lips as she opened her eyes. Lilith blinked several times, adjusting to the brightness around her. After a few seconds, she lifted herself from the bed, scratching her head. The headache and body aches that had plagued her were gone. She felt better and...lighter.
The creak of the door made her turn her head in that direction, and she heard footsteps approaching. Charlotte soon came into view.
"Lilith! Dear heavens, you're awake!" Charlotte exclaimed as she rushed over and threw her arms around Lilith, engulfing her in a tight embrace. "Dear gods, how are you feeling?" she asked, pulling back as her eyes anxiously scanned Lilith's face and body.
"I feel much better, thank you, Charlotte," Lilith said in a low voice, a warm smile on her lips.
Charlotte returned the smile, her shoulders dropping in relief. "I'm glad you're well now. We were all so worried about you. Do you need anything? Water? Something to eat?" she asked.
