After an unexplainable accident Annabelle finds herself hundred years in the past. In the boom of the 1920s, the era of Jazz and bootleggers. But it's not just the 20s she now has to deal with, she also happens to find herself stumble right into the...
We spend the rest of the day with eating and just talking before going to bed early, so we could have a good night's rest. After all today was the day of the gala.
I wished there was something like room service here, but that shouldn't be invented for another ten years. So Maddie and I bought some bread and a bit of fruit from a little stall near Covent Garden. I would have loved to stroll through covent garden but the market as I know it, doesn't even exist yet.
"Do you think I'll be able to get some coffee around here?"
We were both sitting in our beds, eating an apple each, but my head just wouldn't wake up and my eyes just fell close over and over again.
"Sure, just go down to the kitchen."
What? I surely couldn't just go into the kitchen of a hotel.. isn't that just for staff's? Was it different a 100 years back and you could just burst in there like you own the place?
"But isn't the hotel's kitchen only for people who work here?"
I hesitated, being quite unsure.

When I made my way down the hallway, I got awkwardly anxious. I was that kind of person to never ask for anything extra, if I for example received the wrong order in a restaurant, I'd just eat it anyways, instead of complaining.
The elevator doors opened and Gilbert faced me. The second he recognised me, his empty and cold resting face turned into a slight smile, and also the corners of my own mouth turned upwards.
"Good morning, Miss Belle. How are you doing?"
"Good morning to you too, Gilbert. I am quite in the need for some caffein but otherwise splendid. How about you, did you sleep well?"
