The day had been going pleasantly since even though the night before she had received some news about who was in the district which just made her cringe and cause a slight panic in her heart. Yet she pulled herself together and created and very delicious spread of fruits and wines that dawned across the wooden table that stretched across the glass ceilinged room. There was a little sticker on the side of her mailbox out front of the house by the street that was the changing point from the Old District to the New District. A bright blue sticker on a dark green mailbox, unseen to those who aren’t looking and a big bright signal to those who were. With a soft sigh Mary finished placing a few bottles of white wine on the table with the rest of the spread and then moved to the back glass sliding door to look upon the backyard, almost a whole acre right in between the two towns, she thought it was the deal of a lifetime, but there was more to this land than she had anticipated, Naiser Vail and Caislin Hallows was such a very strange place in itself.
Quickly she slid out the back door and onto the porch that wrapped around the house completely, walking along the perimeter of the house circling around to the front yard her arms crossed over her chest and she thought carefully of the place she had left behind her beautiful home up north where her family had been until recently. With a deep sigh escaping her, she quickly slid back into the house through a side door and slipped into the living room. Not much living had been done in it since she had bought the house, always busy with research and studies she couldn’t find the time to spend at home to relax, but at least now with teaching out of the way she didn’t have much to worry about anymore just her research and study which she did in the night anyways.
’’Oh at least it’s a perfect Saturday so far…’’
Slowly her steps almost silently against the floor as she moved across the living room and took a seat on a pale white plush chase, stretching her legs across the flat, her arm wrapped around the curl of the chase as her head laid upon the pillow softness of it. Her beige shorts and white t-shirt blouse was a perfect idea for today, she hadn’t had time to put the air conditioner together, nor did she have the strength to move it by herself, she had the windows open and a few fans placed in the perfect spots that helped the cool draft wisp through the house, the smell of her baking filling her home and yard. Her eyes began to close as the heat started to get to her, she thought to herself for just a few moments she would rest her eyes and be ready to serve before they showed up.
