TWO NIGHTS LATER Amor-el announced the big move to the Bower house. The inside was empty, but everything worked, even the outside lights. Gasps and exclamations aside, everyone was thrilled at the expansive plantation home. Especially Cooke and her new modern kitchen complete with a single stained glass window skylight, three ovens, and a set-in fireplace (where she could also bake bread or pizza).

Amor-el passed out elegant calling cards too, somewhat like a business card but more personal, something one might leave behind at a friend’s home. The nondescript cards hinted at a bit of mystery were colored blue like the roses, and said, The Evening Bower, Louisiana, in black ink. On the back, the home telephone number. Rhea loved them.

“And the best part? We live on Bower Road. Benefits of owning the land,” Am said proudly.

“Do we get to pick our rooms?” Victoria asked. They gathered around the old dining room table after dinner and examined the blueprints in detail.

“No, my dear,” Rhea said. “I am sorry, but I think you will like what we have arranged. Look, the house divides into main areas, and the upstairs separates into wings. The library will take up two sections on the first and second floor, accessed directly by a spiral staircase. On the first floor, a curved bay window with window seat, comfortable chairs and reading lamps. Upstairs, Am’s desk and mine will sit in the middle of the room, along with my chest and some of my artwork. Here is where I will keep most of our antique volumes. Books will line the walls upstairs and down and shoot up twelve feet. We hope we planned for enough shelving.”

“Is this right? A split grand staircase?” Sondra pointed to the drawing.

Am nodded. “When you enter the front, you’ll see the large semi-circle entryway. This way you take the staircase that matches where you wish to go. Left to the library, the master wing, and Destin’s rooms. Right to the guest wing and suites for Sondra, Victoria, Keta, with three more available suites.”

“What about Drahomira? Isn’t she staying here anymore?” Keta asked quietly.

“Of course. Dra has rooms in the master wing. And right above the landing and overlooking the foyer will be three extra rooms, but not suites. One will become a school room for Destin.”

“What’s over here?” Victoria pointed to the first floor.

Rhea followed the finger’s path. “To the right from the entry is the ballroom. If you pass that and take the door to the right under the stairs, you get to the drawing room where Am decided to set his piano. If you go straight back, that takes you to the dining room. When you enter and go left, as I said before, you go to the library. Under the left staircase is the family living room, a sort of extension off the library with doors that expand the library space. That’s where the big screen TV is, the stereo and one of the two sidebars. The other is in the dining room.
