As usual Hayley got dressed and did her rounds but today she was especially excited for the mail.
The estate got mail all week round from different places that the lord had partnerships in.

Hayley greated the post new boy. "Hello there. Where is Martin?"
The boy took off his hat showing his blond curls. "And ealness had befallen him miss. I have take up his rounds. Is this this mail?"
His timid hands ruffled for the small stack mail held together with strings and 2 packages.
The emblem was one she had seen a thousand times over.
"Yes thank you. Good day."

Hayley gave one of the packages to Lilly. No doubt a present from a family member congratulating her on a healthy baby.
"Hayley could you please make sure Julia is all right. I only want to bath." Lilly asked.

"Do not worry go have a long soke." Hayley took the baby from Lillys arms.
"Hello Julia." Hayley smiled at the baby, whose eyes where rarely open. Hayley humed and swayed the baby.

She wondered what her child would look like. A boy or a girl? Could she even have children with Adam.
She was able to change Julia's dipper with the baby even waking up. Hayley eventually left when Lilly was dressed.

The last chore was Hayleys favorite. Normally she would have to clean his room but seeing as he was not using it why clean.
Instead of a broom she grabbed her paint brush.

Hayley had slowly over the ears worked to paint his walls in silence. There was no time like now to finish it.

3 of the 4 walls where finished. A sun rise over a flower valley.
A midday sun at the beach.
Dusk over a mountain view.

And the last one was of the special night under the falling stars.
One day when he moves to his office from her to clean the room then she will have taken the current ,that block the wall, off.

She worked hard till late in the night. She sat down on his bed looking at the art peace.
She felt like she was laying on that soft grass again, the sky dark but light up by moonlight. Adam smileing at her and leaning in for a kiss and before there lips touched she sat up.

She didn't know when she fell asleep on his bed but she bolted out. She ran passed her rooms hallway to the kitchen. Everyone was already cleaning up after breakfasts.
Lilly was there and looked at Hayley smirking.
"And why are you late, miss?" Lilly asked placing her hands on her hisp.

"I'm sorry, I over slept."
It rarely happens, she was always up and ready before anyone.

"Did he tire you out that much?" A black haird girl named Elsa rolled her eyes at Hayley.

"Elsa don't!" Lilly warned but Elsa didn't even hear.
Haley asked what she ment.

"I'm tust wondering why did I see you enter the lords room? O and why the lord isn't walking around today?" Elsa flipped her hair back.

Hayley placed both her hands on her hips. "Well first off the lord isn't even here. Secondly if the lord has some he wants dun in his room do you expect he does it himself, when he is not here?"

Elsa rolled here eyes and walked off leaving Lilly and a steaming Hayley.
"What is the matter with her!" Hayley gritted out past her teeth.
Lilly sruged "You have been spending alot of time with the lord alone. Some girls think it's unprofessional." Lilly smoothed her dress out.

"Do you think this too?" Hayley leand against the counter.
"I think it is unprofessional bit I do not mind. You have to spend time together, of course you will see each as friends at the least."
Lilly stated buttering a slice of bread.
"I'm surprised you haven't fallen in love with him."
Lily saw Hayley looked away.

Lillys jaw broped.
Hayley told Lilly that she will be taking the day off and exsused herself. Hayley instead of heading to her room found herself locking herself in her lords office again.
She was still angry but also inberased. She had inevertadly admitted to her friend about her feeling towards master.

In her deep thoughts she hurd a tapping. She turned to see Adam's crow.
She smiled to herself.
Her letter had reached him and he responded. She gave the crow its treat.
She couldn't help the smile that pulled at her hart.

She sat down in his big brown chair and opened the anvelope.
