In the Palace

Mirabel closed for the day, after her friends left and returned home. To her surprised, the Princesses were moody, and their grandparents did not notice it.

“What is the matter, Aurora and Julie?”

“Welcome back, Princess Mirabel,” they greeted.

“Thank you. Where are grandma and grandpa?”

“They are in the bedroom.”

“That is good. What is troubling you?”

“My dad called grandpa a while ago, and announced that he was at the airport,” Aurora said.

“That is good news. Ain't you happy that he is coming back?”

“We are. But he is coming back with our mom.”

“And so what if he comes back with your mom?”

“She would lock us up in the house, like flowers in the attic,” Julie explained, and Aurora added, “We will not go to the farm anymore.”

“Or visit our grandparents.”

“Is your dad aware of that?”

“Yes, and she would pick on him if he wished to take us out to visit you, or grandma.”

“It's okay. Your dad would do something about that when he comes back.”
