(For Embry Montgomery)
The Hiems chill was setting in. Even though Florina much preferred vers, there was something about heims that she found particularly appealing. Perhaps it was how quiet the world became when it became snowy, or perhaps it was how cozy she felt under warm blankets or by a roaring fire. Whatever the reason, there was usually a sense of peace this time of year. Something that she desperately needed of late, given how hectic everything had become. Hopefully, tempers would cool with the weather.
The day was moving well into the evening, and Florina was in a carriage, wrapped in soft, furry blankets, heading toward the music hall. There was a symphony playing that evening, and she was happy that she was able to attend. Since she’d been given her new position at court, she’d had very little time to herself in recent days as she familiarized herself with her new duties.
She arrived at the music hall well before it was time to enter her box. She would let the coat check take her cloak, revealing her gown. She’d find her way toward the hearth in the waiting area. She’d given her maid, Sophie, another chance and sent the girl to fetch her a drink while she waited to be ushered into the boxes. She’d scan the room for anybody she knew, but saw nobody…or did she? There was someone in the crowd that looked familiar to her, but she could not place exactly where she’d seen her.
