"Good evening, duchess. Did you have a good time out with your friends?" Alfred greeted Alessandra at the door the moment she returned home. "Good evening, Sally."
"Good evening Alfred. I had a lot of fun. Has Edgar returned already?" Alessandra looked up the stairs expecting to see him come to greet her.
"Yes, he returned not long before you. He went to your bedroom to freshen up. Are you hungry? Should I have something sent to your room?"
"No thank you. All I want to do at this moment is take off my shoes. It has been a pain to walk around with them all day long. I'm going to let Edgar know that I have returned and take a quick nap after freshening up. I will see the two of you at dinner. Goodbye for now," Alessandra stated then proceeded to go upstairs to find Edgar.
