"My luna is in a better place now, and she wouldn't want us to spend such a lovely day inside discussing such morbid things."
Laurel looked at her, a little hopeless but charmed by her change in mood. Sarah had always been able to brighten her mood.
"Let's go for a walk! I can show you around the castle."
Laurel smiled and agreed. She was right. Had she remained dead, she would have wanted Sarah to find all the happiness she could. As it stood, Laurel wanted to explore all the happiness Laura had been denied, starting with the joy of having a real friend in Sarah. She followed Sarah out of her suite and down to the main section of the castle. Servants hustled around, moving tapestries, rolling up rugs, cleaning windows, and shining candelabras.
It was a scene she was sort of familiar with, but the energy was fretful. The last time the castle had been cleaned had been at her direction to receive visiting nobles.
