After a long night; I woke to a knock on my door; I slowly sat up."Come in" I was still half a sleep. "Hello Miss Robinson; breakfast is ready" I rubbed my eyes slowly. "Now?" He chuckled; "Now would be preferable." "Alright; give me 10 minutes please." He nodded and walked out.
I had found that my clothing was already unpacked and placed neatly in a drawer.I wondered who was in here when I wasn't looking, oh well; I opened the chest up to find a bag from my grandma with a note."Dear Bethany; thought you may like some new clothing" I took a peak through the clothing and chose one of the new dresses.
I took a quick bath, brushed my hair and headed downstairs for breakfast.I was quite hungry in fact; but another hours sleep would have been nice as well.
After a few moments; William walked in, I went to stand to greet him."Please, no need to be so formal" he smiled as he sat down.
We sat there for a while; neither one of us saying anything.It was awkward; I finally decided to ask who placed my clothes away."Would you happen to know who might have had the liberty of unpacking my belongings" He chuckled a bit; "That would be April; you haven't met her yet have you?" "No, I haven't" "She's a hard girl to track down; I'm sure you'll run into her soon enough...I was hoping you'd join me in the garden after breakfast...of..of course if you'd prefer not..." "I'd love to you." "I'm glad to hear it."
So William and I went out into the gardens, we talked for hours about different things; our interests, our family.He was very sweet and very kind.
"I hope your enjoying your stay here" I gave him a quick smile."Of course I am, everyone's so kind you've all been good friends."
"Just friends?" William asked flirtatiously.Was he flirting with me? I could never really tell with men.I didn't know what to say, so I changed the subject."Want a sandwich?" He looked at me and laughed."Your too cute for words".I giggled.
"I must go attend to something Bethany; please excuse m" He took my hand in his, before departing.I liked this attention I'm getting from him.He's so handsome.
I decided to do a bit of exploring; I loved admiring the paintings on the wall; they were very pretty; I'm sort of an art bluff; Haha.
I came upon a room with a piano; I loved music and I've been playing piano since I was ten. I wonder if I still know how to play it.
I decided I would try it out and see; what do you know? I still remember that one song "Under the Moon" I can't remember where I learned the song from; but I've known it for as long as I can remember. "Emily used to play under the moon quite often" a small voice spoke from behind me.I stopped playing and stood up to see who it was.
"Who are you?" I asked; a lovely maid stood behind me.Could this be April? My name is April; I work for Mr.Gracey.Where did you learn that song? I always thought it was a secret song between Emily and Mr.Gracey; why would he tell you it?" I stared at her blankly."What are you talking about? He didn't tell me anything; I've known this song for as long as I could remember." "I don't know how you found this song; but you must be lying as this song was written specifically for Emily and William." I was even more confused and irritated that she called me a liar."I am not lying; I've played this song when I was little girl.You must be mistaken one song for another." She gave me a glare that made me think if looks could kill."Hmm, maybe your right, but I'll be watching you." And she walked out; she was not very friendly; and I don't have the foggiest idea what she was talking about.
I was hurt and upset by April's harsh words; so I went outside to do a bit of painting; the weather was gorgeous! I spent the rest of the afternoon outside painting.Ah well, tomorrow's another day.
