Exton

The Jag purrs as it winds up the drive. Ramji smiles, glimpsing the sisters in his rearview mirror. Their heads are bent close, identical smiles gracing their lovely faces. There is sadness, but the knowledge that they will not be kept apart makes it nearly painless. Just knowing they now could reach each other with their cell phones lifted a weight from their shoulders.

The girls are out of the car almost as soon as he stops. As he pops the trunk, Stoney opens the cottage door. Ramji looks at the sky, noting the sun still relatively high. Catching his puzzled expression, Stoney laughs.

"*Bon après-midi mes amis!" Stoney grins as he strides across the yard. He takes the boxes from Laila and Thea, easily carrying them. He murmurs to Ramji as he takes a case in his empty hand. "The Autumn sun is less strong than Summer. I wake earlier." With a sweeping bow, he leads the way to the cottage. "The twins are almost bouncing off the walls, Laila. Tomas has been driving his mother crazy with wanting to know when you are getting here."


*Good afternoon, my friends!
