Rose groaned and stretched out her hands as she woke up, almost hitting one of the maids in the face. The latter was able to move out of the way in time, as the three of them had tried hard to wake Rose up.
"By the heavens, Rose!" Lily cussed. "I feared you were dead."
"What?" Rose asked, still disoriented as she brought her hand down.
"A slap would do a better job," a maid said.
"Oh, shush, Welma," Lily said.
The maid didn't take kindly to this. She scoffed and turned her face away from them, walking towards the door. "Now that she is awake, our job here is done."
"Are you okay?" Lily called, scolding.
Rose tore her gaze from the door. "I am fine, thanks."
Lily narrowed her eyes but didn't correct Rose, who thought she had been inquiring about her health. "What happened?" she questioned.
"Sorry," Rose said, rubbing her eyes. "I slept late."
