Lily awoke in a soft feather bed. For a moment she couldn't remember where she was.
Then it hit her, she didn't know where she was.
The last she could remember was falling asleep in the snow and by all rights she should be dead by now, not lying under clean white sheets with the sun on her face.
Trying to rise she found that her arms and legs didn't work, she had obviously been outside for a long time. Sighing she settled down to wait for a sign of life. Outside the room she could hear the shrieks of small children but none of them entered to check on her. Unable to move she lay there in the immaculate room and waited.
After half an hour the door opened. Lily looked up expectantly as a matronly figure descended on her.
"How ye feeling, love?"
"Sore," Lily admitted "and confused. I hope you don't think me rude, but," she paused, "who are you?"
The lady giggled. "Oh of course, I should've introduced myself, Rosie Gamgee."
Lily started, "you're married to Samwise?"
"You know my Sam?"
Lily shock her head slowly. "Did he find me?"
"Covered in snow you were and half dead. It's lucky Sammy was out walking or you would've died."
Rosie watched her for a little while but Lily offered nothing more about herself.
"I suspect you tired."
Lily nodded again, siezing onto the welcome lie and settled down in Samwise's house.
He would be back soon and after rescuing her he would want to talk. Well she would welcome that. Snuggling back down into the covers she closed her eyes, pretended to be asleep and waited.
