Aerenden: The Child Returns (Ærenden) - Plot & Excerpts
She soaked up the warm water, relishing in each drop for longer than she knew she should. As the minutes passed, she felt the remnants of her journey dissolve from her body and her mind, washed down the drain with the last remnants of dried sweat and grime. She stayed in the shower until it turned her arms and legs into beets and her fingers into prunes, and then forced herself to turn off the water and step out of the tub. Cold air brought the hairs on her arms to attention, but even that felt like a blessing bestowed on baptized skin. Sighing with relief, she wrapped a large towel around her body, and then fingered the wool dress May had given her. The finely woven blue and white material sparkled with the simplest movement, reminding her of a crystal lake in full sunlight. She slipped the dress over her head, smiled as it flowed over her skin, and then drew a hand up to the elegant neckline to finger the white lace along the edge. The same lace edged the sleeves and the bottom of the dress.
