When Celia woke the following morning, she found herself alone in her room, the bright light of a new day shining through the curtains.

Sebastian was still tending to her brother and that gave Celia a moment to reflect on things.

The bluenette sighed softly as she pushed herself up a bit in bed, now fully awake.

She grit her teeth as a sharp bolt of pain rocketed through her wounded shoulder.

She hissed in irritation as she slowly eased herself back down in bed.

Weeks?

Months?

How long would the wound take to heal?

Celia scowled.

She was not used to lying around doing nothing.

Besides, it was a bit awkward here, with her brother, with Sebastian.

A smile danced across her lips.

Her brother.........so small and fragile in his childhood.

Now, he was still small and fragile but he was also the proud Earl Phantomhive.

Hopefully Ciel would allow her to stay and still be true to herself.

Oh, how she hoped Ciel didn't force her to conform, to assimilate into society's customs and expectations.

Yesterday's discussion with her brother had not gone as well as she had hoped......

Celia pouted.

She needed her brother's icy heart to melt.

She needed Ciel to let her be free.

She also needed him to visit her again today.

Celia had missed him dearly.

The Earl Phantomhive had a miserable night.

He tossed, he turned, laying on one side, then the next...........

The world was pitch black and the Earl Phantomhive found his eyes wide open.

1 o' clock.......

2 o' clock.........

3 o' clock...........

The bluenette breathed a very irritated, defeated sigh as the dawn began to break and he had yet to close his eyes.

Once it was light enough to see, Ciel rustled around and made himself a tower of pillows to lay on, flipping through a nearby book idly while he waited for Sebastian to bring tea and breakfast.

Sebastian prepared the twins' morning meal with an unusually bright smile, eager to start his day caring for his master and his new lady.

Celia was resting to recover, so he would wake Ciel first.

"It's time to wake up, young master." Sebastian called as he entered Ciel's room with the breakfast cart.

"I never went to sleep." The Phantomhive Earl snapped.

Sebastian blinked as he looked at Ciel. "Young master?"
