Mirabella's peaceful rest had helped to ease her mind and heart for the time being. She, surprisingly even after all the horrible events of the day, was able to sleep and have good dreams. She dreamed of her father and mother, of dancing about in the forests, of being free of Epoch and the rules of the village, and of Ebeneezer. She didn't know why she dreamed of him, but she did and she didn't mind it. He was very kind and handsome, and him being her husband only seemed to add to what was good about him. But, there was also that other side of him. The side that he had shown when saving her from that beastly Enoch. He had been dark and dangerous. It was scary, unheard of, and.....exciting. She knew it should be wrong, how he had acted was extremely sinful, but strangely that side of him was something she yearned to see again. 

In hearing a soft voice call her name, Mire stirred slightly from her sleep, mumbling and whining as she turned over to avoid being woke up much as a child would. But the voice and the hand that held hers was persistent and so her eyes blinked open, immediately confused and somewhat frightened at her surroundings, as this wasn't the place she normally woke up at. But then her mind event back to the events of that day and her body relaxed. She looked over to see who had waken her and when she draw it was Ebeneezer back from the court house, she quickly sat up.

"You're back! Are you okay? What happened? What did the court say? They didn't do anything to hurt you, did they?" Realizing she was blabbering and asking too many questions, she stopped herself and decided to let him speak before asking anything else. She sat there, looking at him with worried eyes, silently begging him to speak.
