I grew accustomed easily with my new life. I was surprised at how I had not even given any thought to my old life and to my family on some days. My friends and all our conversations had faded in importance. When you are in love everything changes, everything feels so different. So I had been told.
I was finding it lately difficult to sleep. Thinking about love and ways to keep that love. I no longer felt fear. It was as if something had ripped that feeling off me. Like in fairy-tales.
Nothing was worrying me any more. My own fate, my family's fate were like clothes I would hang at the back of my wardrobe and not think about them for ages.
My maid would come every morning to help me wash and dress. I was beginning to chat and be friendly with her. I no longer felt like a prisoner.
I was wondering if I had ever been one or what was I intended to be.
For the time being only the present counted. I got thoughts which came as fast as they were gone.
Or at least I thought so.
I was reflecting on my seduction when I noticed the bowl of water starting to fall. As I imagined the water spreading over the room together with the pieces of the broken bowl I realized I had caught it just in time. I smiled but my maid looked at me surprised and in a strange way. I was glad I had saved her the trouble to clean all the mess.
