Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 248

"Elysia's wedding is happening way too soon. If she'd just given us a bit more notice, I would've definitely taken some time off to be there," Amara grumbled, a hint of regret in her voice.

Amara remembered her surprise when Elysia first broke the news. It seemed like only yesterday.

She playfully teased, "Looks like you'll miss out on the wedding feast. Better have Elysia make it up to you with a dinner later."

"Sounds good... Oh, the director's calling me. Gotta go, I'll ring you later," Keith said hurriedly, as he saw the director approaching with a determined look.

As the call ended abruptly, Amara chuckled softly at the blank screen. She'd only called Keith because she was feeling a bit down and needed to chat with a friend. Despite their conversation being mostly trivial, it cheered her up considerably. She ambled over to the window, casually gazing down at the street below.

Her phone buzzed. It was a message from Elysia: "Hey Ama, I'm back. Going to my room now. Don't worry about me."

Elysia was usually the life of the party, always outgoing. The fact that she chose to text instead of popping by spoke volumes about her current state. Clearly, she needed some alone time.

Amara respected her friend's need for space and replied, "Take it easy. If you don't feel like coming out today, just stay in. I'll play bouncer if anyone tries to bother you."
