Chapter 29

THE HOUSE WAS more than I could ever ask for. It was quaint, but perfectly comfortable for the three of us. We entered through a pale blue door that led into the kitchen making me feel like I was back in Maplewood Forest. A small fire burned in the cobblestone fireplace where a stew was brewing.

“This is wonderful!” I exclaimed.

“I thought you’d like it,” Betsy said. “When James approached me with the plans, I gave him a few suggestions.”

“It reminds me of home.”

“Well, it doesn’t have a second floor but it’s close,” Charlotte said. She led us through a small hallway with three doors. “These are your bedrooms. They aren’t very big but each of you will have your own space.”

The first room on the left was Betsy’s. It was painted white and the double bed had a decorative green and white quilt covering it. There was a small white night stand and across from the bed, there stood a medium sized armoire. Light green lace curtains hung from the window above the bed.

The room across the hall from Betsy’s was mine. It was larger than Betsy’s. The bed had a royal blue bedspread and the window was draped with silver curtains like the ones that hung around my bed in Malan. There was a wardrobe on the wall farthest from the door and a vanity with a mirror and chair across from the bed.

“I know it’s not like that room you stayed in in Kings City, but we tried to make it as similar as we could,” said Charlotte, eagerly awaiting my thoughts.

It seemed like they were getting nervous that I wouldn’t like it, but I wasn’t saying anything because I was just so grateful and surprised that I couldn‘t find words. “I love it,” I said, finally finding my voice.

“Good!” said Charlotte. “Now, do you want to see your room Aria?”

Aria‘s face lit up at the sound of her name.

Charlotte carried her to the room next to Betsy’s and opened the door. One look at the way Aria’s eyes widened was proof that she liked it very much. The walls had been painted a pale pink and white lace curtains hung from the two small windows lining the wall. A small bed covered in a pink and white quilt sat against the wall. A railing had been attached all the way around for her safety and a white sheer canopy was draped over the bed. Charlotte put Aria down who immediately crawled over to a basket with dolls in the corner.

“Have they been working on this since I left?” I asked.

Charlotte nodded. “Make sure you thank James.”

“I will,” I replied, still running my eyes around the room.

We settled in quickly to our new home and before long, many villagers who wanted to see Aria were visiting us. Barely a week flew by before Charlotte was at my door to let me know that she wanted to start my training the next morning—early.

“You said you’d do it!” she exclaimed when she read the utter distaste on my face.
