Alanna stomped out of the ballroom, ignoring the laughter and knowing smiles. Delia was yet another test from the Goddess, sent to try her patience. It was the only thing that made any sense. The woman had obviously spent too many years being bored to death in the convent and had now made it her personal mission to embarrass Alanna into early retirement.
Frowning, Alanna looked around and realized that her feet had carried her outside. The fresh air felt lovely after the stale scents and oppressive heat of the ballroom. Alanna tilted her head back as she continued down a gravel path, letting the cool breeze wash across her neck. Deep in the garden, she paused beside a dead rose bush and wondered how she was going to face the other boys after tonight's debacle.
