The New Beginning

The Morning Sun

When she woke up Tuesday morning it was a beautiful day and the sun was bright. Sebastian made her an omelette with a bagel on the side and Earl Grey tea. She sat on her bed drinking the tea as he prepared her for a day out on a boat. Annalise had requested a boat ride before she put on a smile and mulled through such an unbearable thing like a ball. Sebastian, of course obliged to her request. He put her in a dress, frilly and dark blue, but thin enough for her to be able to endure the summer heat. She sighed and sat in her study waiting for Sebastian to come get her. He packed a picnic and a change of clothes in case she wished to go swimming. Annalise picked up a book and began reading it. It was a book by an author who wrote many mystery horror books, but had tried his hand at romance when he got a girlfriend. It was a book about a demon and a small girl. The girl grew up best friend with the demon and when she was an adult she fell in love with the demon. Annalise had always loved the book even before she met Sebastian. The girl was rejected by the demon in the end and killed herself. Annalise would read it over and over again wishing the demon would have loved the poor girl back, but alas, she could not change the book. It made her think of what Sebastian would do if one of his meals fell in love with him. Sebastian walked in and she quickly put the book down and looked at him. "Hello, is it ready for me?" He walked up to her desk and picked up the book. "I see. That's why you consistently hide this under your pillow at night. Does this mean my lady is in love with her butler?" Annalise rolled her eyes and stood up snatching the book away from him. "Shut up." She went into the carriage sitting down. Sebastian got on top and started off to the place where they would be most the day.
