It was day three of residing with her brother in their small room. Merrigold did not want to reside with strangers at the women's burdened commune. They all seemingly had a little anger and envy for her. If Thomas had said Princess Merri getting flung out of the palace in the midst of the night had not made him a tiny tad bit happy then he would be untruthful. News went through the commune quickly too quickly. Master Cunningham senior was back and all the foolery that had been happening in his household were put to an end. Thomas could not have been any happier. Knowing this was not Merrigold's first time being thrown out he hoped this time it was permanent. Pretending to be her friend and having her best interests at heart, Thomas asked Merri as they sat watching the sunrise in the early morning. "He left and never returned huh? He must not care about you..."
"He said he will be back." Merri told Thomas who chuckled.
