prisoner of the castle

Patricia missed her sister-in-law quite an awful lot. They hadn't seen each other since the last holidays because of Lena going to school. She knew that Lena was bringing Rosie back home to Vorstenbach Manor that summer, and after the fight with the Vorstenbach parents Patricia would rather not go there.

She knew that if the time was right, Lena would come along and sit by her. The problem was that she knew it was not the right time at all.

Half-heartedly, Lena went to the only pub in town she knew because it was time for her, she decided, to have a little time for herself. After all, she had been so many people so much lately, it was like she lived for others. It was the first time in her life she'd ever felt that way, or maybe she felt it before, but she never bothered to make more of it.

Entering the bar, her eyes scanned the place for an empty seat. Instead of finding an empty seat, however, she found her sister-in-law. The Uchitel's eyes stayed transfixed, shaking her head at the sight.
