Summary: It's been a long night.
It’s been a long night, her eyes bleary and back aching. She knows she shouldn’t still be up, that she should be in bed, gathering strength for tomorrow’s challenges.
But it’s been too long, and there have been too many tragedies. Minerva doesn’t want to give in to her body’s cries for rest. She doesn’t want to collapse under her covers, hiding from the dreams she knows will come.
The path to Xiomara’s is well-known by her shoes, and they do the work for her, carrying her swiftly through the corridors and passageways.
She is asleep, but she wakes with a smile, weary but seductive, the kind that makes Minerva feel that maybe, just maybe, it’ll be okay.
