Re: ...like a chapter in a book, waiting to be written.
"Your majesty," Thea's voice carried through the room as she entered the queen's bathing room. "I no not know precisely how long you have been in there, but you need to get out." Her tone was kind, but brooked no argument from Queen Eva. Eva was her queen, but when it came to the health of her and her unborn child, Thea would do her part to make sure both were safe.
She approached the tub, grabbing the queen's robe as she walked by where it lay. "Come along, now," Thea's gentle hands moved to help Eva get to her feet and she draped the robe over her shoulders. "I know you have been having trouble." Thea said, her voice soft. "But isolating yourself in a bathtub is not going to help any of them." Talking about them might, however.
