“You need to move to a bigger room,” Brenna told Rebecca.

“Why? I like my room. I’m used to it.”

“Come with me.” She led Rebecca to the second floor and into the room just below hers. “Ignore the paintings, we can move those somewhere else.”

Rebecca immediately checked out the paintings. “Oh my God. Is that you?”

“No, it’s my mom. Cindy painted it a long time ago. I told you, look at the room. We can do some remodeling, change the paper and paint if you like, expand the bathroom, larger closet. So what do you think?”

“Whose room is this?”

“It was my dad’s. But now that you’re officially a granddaughter, you should have a granddaughter room. Otherwise people will think Seamus is playing favorites.”

“That’s a weird way of looking at things.”

“You’re not helping. We’re building a marketing story here. Pay attention. I have a big room. Callie has a big room. You should have a big room.”

“Jared doesn’t have a big room.”

“Jared lives in Baltimore, and he has a double room there.”

“True.” Rebecca looked around a bit, sat on the bed, bounced on it. “It would be nice to have a king-size bed.”

“See? And if you’re going to have a lover stay with you regularly, you need a bigger bathroom than what you have now.”

“Well, that’s probably true. I hadn’t thought of that.”

“So what do you think? Personally, I’d replace the wallpaper. I think it’s too dark. And …”

“I like the wallpaper. I think the green is soothing. There’s so much light with these windows. I think it’s okay.”

“Well, a bigger closet. When my dad had it, my mom used the room next door for her closet.”

“I don’t have as many clothes as you do. I probably never will. If I could just get a couple of wardrobes like you have, that would be enough.”

“How about the bathroom?”

Rebecca looked into the bath. It wasn’t as huge as Brenna’s, but it had a double sink, separate bath and shower, and the bathtub was large enough for two. She’d be able to stretch out in it. “I think it’s fine. Maybe change the wallpaper in here. It’s kind of old.”

“Ok, that’s getting into the spirit of things. One other improvement we need to make is the staircase.”

“What staircase?”

“Exactly. There isn’t a staircase. If I was being attacked, you’d have to run all the way to the middle of the building, climb the main staircase, then run all the way back. I could be dead by then.”

Rebecca eyed her skeptically, “I’d be more worried about whoever was stupid enough to attack you. Where would you put a staircase?”

“Right over here,” Brenna showed her. “A spiral iron staircase up to my room, then we could be close. And think of the parties we could throw.”

“Isn’t Seamus’ bedroom directly below this? Any parties would have to be rather discreet.”

“But you like the room?”

“Yeah, I like it.”

“Callie, don’t you think it’s rather mean to treat one granddaughter like a princess and the other one like an employee?” Brenna said, leaning against Callie’s desk.
