This morning, Lorie is adorable. She looks so cute in her uniform. She's radiant, as always when she's the centre of attention. Her angelic smile is back on her face as she twirls around her brothers. Only Peter's missing this morning. I'm surprised to see that Drogo's also there. Their discussion is very lively around the breakfast table. Lorie is full of enthusiasm about her first day at school.

I remain a little withdrawn, looking on, but I feel good. I'd almost forgotten what these simple moments of everyday life we're like this. Nicolae gives the little girl a tender look.

"I hope you'll like the school, don't forget to tell us everything, when you come home."

"Promise!"

"If you don't like it, then we'll find you a better school." Drogo

"No, I know already that this one is going to be fantastic!"

"Or we'll keep you at home and we'll get you a moronic tutor!" Drogo
Lorie pouts.

"I won't be able to make friends if I stay home!"

"We'll rent some!" Does he always behaves like that with her? Because if so, he's not really helping her. That said, with a brother like that, Lorie's unbearable behavior is a little more understandable!

"There's no reason for it to go wrong. If you're nice, you'll make lots of friends." I said

"I'm already nice!" Drogo lets his arm fall over that back of Lorie's chair and winks at her.

"Don't listen to her. Anyone can see that she knows nothing about popularity."

"And you, you obviously know nothing about kindness." It just came out like that in front of everyone. Drogo looks at me with contempt. Nicolae seems weary.

"Uh, the little thing's vexed."

"Very well. Let's all calm down." Nicolae

"It's almost time. You should go and put on your coat." Lorie scowls.

"Not yet!" Nicolae pushes away his still full cup of coffee and gets up.

"Lorie, put on your coat." Nicolae

"Okay!" She jumps out of her chair laughing before running to the hall. Nicolae notices my irritation and whispers softly:

"Patience, Red. She'll get used to you eventually." And if not? I just have to apply for a waitressing job in town!

Drogo's eyes are still on me. Even when I'm not looking at him, I can see it. It makes me nervous. I shudder slightly when I notice that there are only the two of us left in the dining room. He leans towards me grinning.

"Relax, little thing, I have other things planned this morning, I'll deal with you later." Then he winks at me as if we'd just shared a joke. I get up hurriedly and am about to leave the room when I came face to face with Nicolae. Seeing my upset look, his face darkens and he immediately turns to his brother.
