The next time I come to, I’m naked and sitting against the jagged edge of a warm spring. Although the air smells like fresh rain, the sun hangs alone and high in a cloudless sky.

Mint leaves and jasmine blooms are floating in the waters around me, and someone is running a brush through my hair.

“Try not to move too much, Belle.” Sola whispers into my ear. “You haven’t regained all of your strength yet.”

“Fair enough.” She wades behind me and picks up the brush, resuming the care of my tresses. Then she whispers, “For what it’s worth, he’s checked on you multiple times every day. I think he likes you…”
