"Inara! Inara! Wake up! Wake up!" the young woman who was laying in bed immediately opened her eyes only to meet the young girl with blonde curly pigtail hair, who was also shaking her

"Alright, alright, little one! I'm awake now and I'll be down in a minute for breakfast" Inara said while getting up from her bed when she heard Claire giggle

"You've missed breakfast, silly! We usually have breakfast at 8, but it's already 10 minutes past 9!"

"Really? Why didn't you wake me up earlier then?" Inara asked as she rubs her eyes

"Miss Peregrine to let you sleep a little bit more. She told us that you were up late last night" Claire replied and Inara remembered what happened last night she ended up falling asleep on Alma's shoulder and was carried up to her grandmother's room

"Yes...Well, why don't you go down first and I'll get ready and take a bath real quick" Claire nodded and sprinted out of the room. Inara stretched her arms as high as she could and picked some clothes from the wardrobe

Upon entering the bathroom, Inara turned on the faucet to the bathtub and adjusted the temperature to her liking. When the tub was full she began taking off her clothes and went in the tub

She sighed after she let her whole body sink in. She'd never had a bathtub before, it was always a shower, she didn't know it would be this relieving to have a bath. Inara closed her eyes, took a deep breath and sunk her head under the water

At first, there was nothing on her mind. It was blank. Until an image of Alma popped up, her heart started racing faster. The vision of Alma laughing, giggling and smiling while looking into her eyes just left a mark in her mind, she couldn't take it out even if she wanted to, but then again she'll never want to remove those images from her mind

Last night, Alma talking with Inara and her opening up was a huge step, but she always thought that there was something about Alma that seemed so trusting. Inara couldn't also stop feeling the warmth of Alma's body against hers. She felt so safe and wanted and loved in her embrace

Suddenly, Inara heard something slam, she quickly sat up and looked around the bathroom, but there was nothing, nothing dropped either which means only one thing. Inara stared at the door, then looked down on the footing and a saw silhouette of someone

That person on the other side of the door walked away quickly making the young woman in the tub wonder who it was. The sound of the steps were heavy, so that means it didn't belong to the young children. The heavy clicks on the wooden floor made it clear that it belonged to a woman, so that means it was either Olive, Emma or Alma who might accidentally entered the bathroom and saw her in the tub...naked

Inara felt the heat coming up her neck and to her cheeks as she could only imagine the shock and fright seeing her without any clothes on. She grunted and slammed her hands on her face, scolding herself, asking why she had to wonder who it was in her mind

When she was done sulking around like an idiot she finally decided to get out of the bathtub, dry herself with a towel and get dressed. She ended up choosing something that would make her look lively and good-looking. Not that she's always good-looking she just wanted to look nicer and so she grabbed a light brown floral skirt, a white top with beautiful embroidery, then topped it off with a brown cardigan. For her hair; she didn't do anything to it and just let it flow and she just wore the same oxford shoes
