Trip (2)
Morning came quickly as Alessandra wanted and unlike other days, she had woken up at the brink of dawn to start packing on her own. This annoyed Edgar who wished to stay in bed longer but Alessandra pushed for him to start packing.
She also wanted him to help her pick out clothes that would be to his grandmother's liking so now they were both in the room assigned to be her closet.
"You should know the carriages and the land aren't going anywhere. What is it with you and Alfred waking so early to start packing?" Edgar yawned, still tired and desperately yearning to go back to bed. "I'm starting to regret this trip and we're still here."
