Sam gestured for her to open the door.

There was a small side table beside the bed, a cozy–looking couch, and even a little end table for tea.

“Do you like it?” Sam asked.

Miranda turned to look at him and nodded. “Thank you, I love it.”

With that, she turned back to the window. “It all feels like a dream right now. This is like… a fairy tale I read as a child. Cinderella becomes a princess and returns to the castle where she belongs.”
