<em>~Mila, joined by the girls in the dining room~</em><br/><br/>As Nicci joined her in the dining room, Mila couldn't help the bright smile on her face that bespoke of her already strong affection for the other woman.  She kissed her cheek back and said, "I slept very well.  The bed was very comfortable.  I actually wasn't sure how I'd do in a strange place, but the castle already feels a little like home, you know?"<br/><br/>She watched Nicci pour some coffee and took a sip of her own. "I'd love to do yoga with you and Mari. Girl time is going to be important.  And I'm a huge movie buff."  She truly felt that way, but didn't want to push too hard to force bonds to form that weren't ready yet.  But if the others wanted to spend that time with her, she would take it as the blessing that it was.  "Speaking of walking on the beach, how was your run?" she asked.<br/><br/>Before Nicole could answer, Mary came in with a platter of toast, hot and buttered.  Mila eyed it, debating whether or not she wanted any.  At home, she'd never been a big breakfast girl.  Living alone, she'd gotten into the habit of having only a small bowl of oatmeal.  "Hey, I wasn't the only one who ate those truffles.  If I remember correctly, you made sure everyone got some," she cried out at Nicci's teasing, her eyes twinkling with mirth.<br/><br/>Just then, Mari joined them in the room, too, coming over to kiss her cheek as Nicci had. "I slept well, too," she said, and then added, "I could very easily get used to waking up in the morning to kisses from the two of you."  She kissed Mari's cheek and laughed softly.  She'd been fraught with nerves when she'd awakened, finding sanctuary in the Video Diary Room, but just being with Mari and Nicci again gave her a feeling of connection that eased her distress.<br/>
