The hysterics at the house were relentless... She loved her mother and the pair was thick as thieves, but this had to stop... Her mother was going through her bouts of mood... One moment she would be fine, she would understand how it happened and then there would be hysterics, generally when she knew someone was looking. It was all too much. Why had she come back? She could have stayed gone. Been away from it all, she did not have to return, but then... Then her wonderful father would have cut her allowance and that could not happen.
Alice did not want to go into town, too many people knew the family and knew about the funeral... She wanted to be at a place that she could breathe and just be... She would soon be found at the pavalion. It was a lovely day and, surprisingly, it was not that busy. She was grateful for it. Stepping along the paths that led to the pavilion, she would find herself humming softly. She was not dressed for mourning... She had done it the day of her brother's funeral and that was enough, he was not getting more than that. Instead, she dressed in a light blue dress, her long brown hair was pulled up into a neat bun. She looked appropriate... She looked attractive... She was attractive. What more could one want?
Sighing, she walked slowly, she had nowhere to be... She had nowhere that she wanted to be. Looking around, she watches the few people that were there, nothing spectacular. Pausing to look at something, her mind would drift back to the day of the funeral... Her brother's behaviors, her father's carelessness... Her sisters.... Then there was one that stood out... The stranger.... Who was he really? Had he been the the one to take her brother down? Surely was something to find out. Twisting her lips in thought, she rolls her shoulders back.. How could she find that man? Maybe he was the interesting sort... Maybe he could be entertainment while she was stuck here.... Maybe, just maybe...
Maybe that was why she had done what she had did.... She would send him a note... An invitation really to meet her here... She wanted to thank him for his attendance and she had... Questions, of course.... Walking to the pavilion, she would sit down on a bench and now all she had to do was wait...
