A story for Ma Cherie

Before Part 2

I wake up to the beeping of my alarm. Jane's bed was perfectly made, like normal. I got up quickly and made the bed as fast as I could. I grabbed a clean towel from the hallway closet, and took a quick shower. Once I was out, I threw on some ripped black jeans and a YUNGBLUD hoodie, put a full face of makeup on, and attempted to style my short hair. Once I was satisfied with my looks, I went downstairs to the big bulletin board, looking to see when my next adoption meeting was. 

TODAY? 

I went back to my room and put away the random pages of my story. Clean. Finally. 

I sat on my bed, and pulled out my sketch book. I sketched out a quick word, Beauty, before adding detail and color.  After a few minutes, Jane walks back in wearing a cute one piece jumper. It was blue with little clouds, and accentuated her features. She gave me a small smile. She grabbed her sketch book and showed me her latest drawing. 

I was astonished. There was a tiny knock on the door. Mrs. Werner walked in smiling. 

"Emma, there are people here. I just want to let you know they have been interviewing with other kids here as well."

"I'm on my way down."

I put my sketch book away and headed down the hallway. The door to the main living area was propped open.  I quietly walked into the room, trying not to make too much noise. Three men stood looking out the window. They were tall, and smelt faintly of vanilla and cinnamon. Why is this scent so familiar.  I stepped forward and almost knocked over the giant vase. I caught it just in time, and a familiar laugh filled the room. I set the vase back up and looked up to see my some of my favorite people in the world standing in front of me. 
 

"You must be Emma. I'm Remington, and these are my brothers Emerson and Sebastion." He held out his hand. I froze. The Palaye Royale stood in front of me.
