She was determined not to argue with him. She had to keep in mind that he had no idea what she really did. He thought she was just a silly girl who needed a husband to survive in the world. She was looking out the window to the front and a couple of carriages arrived from the castle. She went outside to make sure that everyone that was supposed to be there had shown up and that everything was going according to schedule. She was not surprised to see William and as usual she dodged his affections kindly as she directed him and the others to take things into the house and kitchen. Lost in her duties for the day she almost missed her parents arrival. Their carriage arrived shortly after 1 in the afternoon. The tension on her face was visible and when her father stepped from the carriage she smiled at him and [color=f6989d]"Welcome father! I am so glad you could make it." [/color]She lied. Her father gave her a scowl and walked past her. Her mother declared herself exhausted from her travels and opted for lunch in her room. Brienna got their things moved and got her mother settled into their room and her father had gone to the study for a smoke. Brienna had barely seen Jason. The guard was on higher than normal alert because the gates were being opened off and on all day. They were still closing them because of the attack but they were keeping extra vigilant because of recent events. She expected they would barely see each other over the next couple of days. She finally saw a few minutes to herself and she went to the lake where they had been the night before and her happiness came back and she sat down by the water smiling at the memories and how he made her feel.
