on to what else this closet had to offer.

Apparently, when Liam told me not to bring anything

unnecessary, like clothes, he already had an entire wardrobe ready for me. I’d

never had this many to choose from before – didn’t know it was this difficult

when one had more.

As I looked at myself in the full body

mirror, my eyes

wandered into the stack of denim jeans

With so many pairs to choose from, picked… the back one

with highi, pointed heels that sort of looked like boots. I slipped my right

foot into the shor, instantly feeling taller. Zipped the gold-colored zipper om

the side and checked it in the mirror – mot bad. How do I put the other?

Shifting my weight to my right, my arms waved in the air

to steady myself. That was more difficult than I thought. I sat on the

floor and pulled the shoe over my left foot. Then, supporting myself with the

shelves, my shaky legs managed to stand. The incline was a bit uncomfortable,

but when I looked behind my shoulder to see myself in the mirror, it looked

“good, I looked good, it even felt good. I -felt taller, beautiful, more

confident, MoE Portu. If I knew the shoshthis SHTË witcherati.

Taking a deep breath, I slowly turned around. My feet

swayed with every step before finding balance Arms to my sides now, I raised

my right leg and… down. Then the next. And… another. I was getting close to the

mirror now.Oh wow, this is tasy. I’m

doing – Woah!

My legs wobbled. My ridiculous armi waves didn’t help this

time. I fell forward, and my forehead hit the floor, sending waves of pain over

my head. I curled myself into a ball, with a hand rubbing circles on the… small

bump. Great. This is what I get for being too ambitious – should’ve chosen

flats instead.

“Anna?” Rigel asked from outside as he knocked on the

“I’m fine. Nothing to w Raising myself aff the

ground with my arms, I pulled my legs and felt a twang of pain on my left

ankle. Forcing myself into a sitting position, I bent my left knee to reach for

my foot. “Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow…”

I coulin’t do it. Too painful.

his voice hinting urgency. “Anna, whatever you’re doing, cover yourself up ΤΙ

“No!” I yelled. It’d be too embarrassing if he saw me like

He bent on one knee beside my feet and carefully held my

left foot. Please don’t,” I said, looking down.

“Come on,” he said, placing an arm around my shoulders. I

thought he was going to help me up. 1 swear my thoughts were innocent. Until

his left arm wrapped around my thighs and he easily lifted me off the floor.

Not that I was against it, just that…

Sure. You didn’t have a problemi

around when he came back

Raising my right leg, I took the shorall. A s for the

other one, I’d rather wait for Rigel. The room fell quiet, and my phone was in

the claset

Higel came back after three minutes, holding an ice pack

and a roll of bandant.

“Took you long enough,” I said, pouting

He grinned. “Missed me already?”

“No.”

“I know you did,” he said as he knelt in front of me. Carefully.

He put my foot down and sat on the for before raising it

“I wasn’t lonely.

“Sure you weren’t

“Do = ow!” He twisted my foot to one side then the other.

“Definitely a sprained ankle

“Are you kidding me!” I screamed and he chuckled. “That

wasn’t very nice, Rigel.” Reaching for a pillow, I threw it at his face.

“I’m not a nice person.”

“You’re my knight,” I said,

crossing my arms on my chest. “You’re supposed to be nice.”

Rigel didn’t say anything more

“nat a nice Hrson”, his anctions today were different from his words.

I assumed he was done when he

put the ice pack down. But then his thumb pressed down around the swollen

and traveled towards the heel. He continued to massage my foot – the pain

dissipating. When he was satisfied, he put my foot down slowly

”Try moving it,” he said, and I

did, “Better?

“It’s not as painful as before,”

I mumbled. “Thank you.”

He sat beside me. “Pity you

won’t be coming with us tonight. We’re going out for a drink.”

“Where’s that coming from?” he

“What’s what coming from?

“It’s embarrassing.” I said,

I playfully slapped his arm. “Don’t

tell anyone. Please put my shoes back before someone sees.

“Too late,” he said, and I

didn’t have to question him to know why. The door opened with a bang. Liam

walked in his eyes on me, burning

my arms to raise myself. Leaning to my side, I rested my head on his shoulder.

The action caused him to jolt, and I leaned back as he straightened his back.” First
