It was morning.
"Good morning."
"Rosalia, you're up early today. Perfect timing—breakfast is ready. Come and eat."
I smiled shyly at Liz, who was setting the table with Henry and the others.
After last night's nightmare, I'd been too terrified to sleep alone, so Cae had stayed with me the entire night instead of taking his turn on guard duty with the rest of the team.
Neither of us had fallen asleep until dawn.
That was why I'd overslept and hadn't even helped prepare breakfast.
"I'm sorry, everyone," I apologized the moment I saw everyone gathered around the table.
"It's alright," Henry replied with a warm smile. "The important thing is that you're okay."
"Yeah, yeah. No need to be so formal," another teammate laughed. "Come on, let's eat. We've still got a long road ahead of us... and probably another brutal battle waiting."
I sat down, and Cassel took the seat beside me.
