[q]Then I guess we’ll have to endeavor to make that happen. I think we’re both amenable to this, right? I see no reason why we should put it off at all. We’ve already discussed having separate sleeping arrangements until we’re more comfortable with one another, so this shouldn’t really be a big deal.[q] She waved a hand gently as she came to stand next to Ella, looking at the plant in question. A large monstera plant. Broad leaves that tore themselves open as they grew. Fitting. The transformation into it’s larger self always left marks. Witness marks, to the passing of time, and the effort of growth.
[q]And if she’s not fond of you, I can’t imagine that she would balk at you moving straight into my home even before the wedding. There will be abundant planning and decisions that need to take place, so you might as well just stay. It would be no problem for me, nor my house lady, she’s rather used to having to deal with me setting my mind on something, and then being completely set against the original idea the next morning. We just need to have it seem like your father’s idea to have you just.. Not leave.[q]
She bit into the meat of her thumb a moment, finding the temporary pain good for focusing her thoughts. [q]I feel we should be married by the end of this week. Oh but there’s oh so much planning, and we’ll need to have you fitted for a dress too. Or a nice suit if you so desire to wear one.[q] Her mind in motion, she rang the bell to call her lady in, and when the older woman popped her head into the solar, Kaczor was already in motion. [q]Sari, please go home now and prepare my old study for Lady Ella. I intend on having her come there with me tonight?[q]
She turned and looked back to Ella, the question of tonight left entirely up to her.
