I dash to the vanity and scoop up the device as a cry of dismay escapes Ursula’s lips. “I’ll have to tighten it again, miss!” “No matter!” A message from Hephaestus appears on the paper scroll. Do you still wish me to replace your gate? We had agreed upon today. Yes, we had, which is why I wish to look particularly alluring. I glance in the full-length mirror, batting my eyelashes at the vivacious young woman reflected before me, her dark eyes shining, a rosy blush on her pale cheeks. The white blouse and lavender skirt offer a perfect contrast to my long, ebony curls. Quickly, I pen a reply. Yes, at four o’clock, as we previously agreed. Ursula takes a long breath and makes a second attempt at the laces. Her voice becomes breathy and excited. “I’ve never seen you act so eager, miss. Is it…a suitor?” She steps to the left so I can see her mischievous countenance in the mirror.
