Heaven pulled a pair of flannel pajamas out of the bureau drawer, but was too chilled to get in bed right away; that and her mind was spinning with everything that had happened. She'd lived in Briton her entire life so a little cold, damp weather shouldn't make a big enough impression to draw her attention, but the fact remained that she couldn't get warm. Her grandmother's remedy for a chill was a hot bath. She claimed it never failed.

Indulging in something as decadent as a leisurely bath, well, it wasn't something Heaven would normally do. Allowing herself to relax completely? Taking the extra time to draw the water then sinking down slowly as her body adjusted to a warmer temperature? That sort of indulgence just didn't make her to-do list. Ever.

But that particular day had been an exception to every rule. It was definitely one of those days that would stand out in contrast to other days.

Slowly the hot water eased some of the tension from her muscles and calmed the muddle that had become of her typically laser-sharp mind. When the water grew tepid, she decided it was time to test those theories about the subconscious mind sorting things out for us in sleep so that everything is clearer in the morning. After a quick towel dry, she pulled on soft flannel pajamas that she'd left close enough to the bathroom heater to warm without danger of catching fire. Prewarmed pajamas were a pleasure she refused to acknowledge. She had determined to refuse joy until things were put right with Istvan Baka.

She climbed onto the bed, turned off the light, slid down between cold sheets, feeling muscles tense in response, and pulled the covers up to her nose hoping to warm the bed into a cocoon before the restorative effects of the hot bath were lost altogether.

After an hour of staring into the darkness feeling even less sleepy than she had all day, she decided to give reading a try. Not the occult texts of antiquity that would normally be her after hours reading.

Turning on the light long enough to run to the kitchen bar, she unplugged her fully charged electronic reader, and glanced at the clock on the way by. Straight up midnight. She pulled the tablet under the covers with her and brought up Valerie de Stygian's first novel, Blood and Bellflowers.
