Hera knew the exact moment that Bryce left for work. He didn't stop by her house or anything, but she heard his car driving out of the mansion when she had woken up earlier to pray in the morning. The fact that he didn't come to her apartment was enough proof that he was mad at her. She knew deep down that he was somehow upset, but the fact that she didn't know why was eating at her.
They had just begun talking again, so why was he upset? She only mentioned going out with him. It's not like she wanted to sacrifice him or something.
And he had refused to tell her what she did wrong. How was she supposed to pacify him if she didn't even know where to begin?
Placing the already washed dishes in the sink where they belonged, she stepped into the bathroom to have her bath.
When she was done, she sluggishly walked into her bedroom and pulled out a simple dress from her closet. She examined it thoroughly before putting it on. It was no longer news to her that her day was already ruined in the worst way possible.
Stepping out of her bedroom, she was about to heat up her food when a knock sounded on her door. She quickly dropped the idea and hurriedly rushed out to open it but was a bit disappointed to see Mariam standing there instead.
"Good morning, Mariam." She gave a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Today was definitely not looking up to her as she had hoped.
"You don't look happy to see me," Mariam pointed out conversationally. "Were you expecting someone else?" Mariam eyed Hera curiously, but she shook her head negatively.
