Aveline's face lit up with relief.

She quickly asked, "Has the fire outside died down?"

Braden replied, "It's under control now. Please, open the door."

Baron, with a team of bodyguards, had hooked up a hose and managed to contain much of the blaze, giving Braden the chance to get inside and lead Aveline to safety. Aveline's room was dangerously close to the kitchen; if the fire hadn't been brought under control, it would have soon reached her.
