It had been about two months since Annie and her brother James were hired by the Master of the estate, well more like Adrian the head butler; but the two were truly enjoying their time at the manor and the work they were doing. Annie excelled at her job as a maid, working circles around the others to prove she deserved to be there.

The garden was beautiful and full of life. The colors were bright and welcoming; everything looked really healthy and stunning. “Wow…” She said under her breath as she shut the door behind her and slowly ventured into the garden along the path.
