Moira felt down for a while. Until drowsiness hit her, she managed to rein in her emotions and got up to freshen up.
'Even if it's all pretend, it doesn't matter. After all, she's the leading lady in this Barclay drama!' she wondered.
As inappropriate as it might sound, she had to admit it was pretty effective. Moira's mood instantly lifted.
It was already late. Moira had spent the whole day shopping with Juliet. Her legs were sore. After a shower, Moira climbed into bed and quickly fell asleep.
Maybe it was because Barclay suddenly came back to celebrate Valentine's Day with her, and Moira dreamt about him again.
This time, Barclay didn't accuse her of having wild fantasies but rather said he didn't like her gift. It wasn't appealing to him, and she shouldn't give it next time.
The alarm on her phone kept buzzing, waking Moira up from her dream.
Summer mornings started early. Even though it was only around seven, it was already bright outside.
She stared out of the window for a moment, then suddenly remembered Barclay had to rush over to Citadelia this morning.
Moira, who had originally planned to snooze, realized this and immediately sat up in bed!
As a dutiful wife, how could she let her husband go on a business trip all alone?
Moira rubbed her face, swiftly got out of bed, and went to freshen up.
But she hadn't anticipated walking too fast, and her knee accidentally bumped into the corner of the bed, sending a sharp pain shooting through her.
Ouch, that hurt like crazy.
She stood there, feeling dizzy.
Luckily, after the excruciating pain subsided for a moment, it got much better, but her knee was swollen from the impact, and every step she took was painful.
She was perfectly fine just a moment ago, but now she suddenly limped.
Moira thought she'd be fine after freshening up, but to her surprise, as soon as she stepped out, her leg uncontrollably buckled with each step.
Though it wasn't really as dramatic as being completely crippled, she couldn't walk properly.
