Sofia rise from the bath, rinsing off her body, warm water dripping from her now-damp golden hair. She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around herself with graceful motion before saying, "I'm done first. Don't take too long, okay?"
I only gave a faint nod, still leaning against the side , letting the warm water soothe my naturally cold body. For a moment… I felt alive.
Twenty minutes passed in peaceful silence. Once I was satisfied, I left the bathroom, drying my hair with a towel. But as I opened the door, I froze.
My black dress… was gone.
I turned to Sofia, who was sitting near the wardrobe, and asked in a flat tone, "Where's my dress?"
Sofia quickly looked over and replied casually, "I washed it. It was dirty since you came from the forest, right?"
It didn't need washing… I thought to myself. It cleans itself.
