It was the start of a new year in some minds, another page turned and the beginning of the next exciting chapter of life. Where the story would turn from here, none had cause to know as yet, but for Gillian the start of her day meant taking Edmond and Mercedes out for a brisk winter stroll around the park. She hadn't chosen her house on a whim, after all—living so close as she did to this particular city park meant plenty of opportunities to get the dogs the daily exercise they required. She didn't always have the opportunity to take charge of this task herself, however. Oftentimes she'd have Thérèse, the young woman whom Gillian hired to clean house (especially now that it was more than just her roaming about) take care of things when work took up most of her available time. Unfortunately, that was a fairly typical circumstance through the course of most years, but she did enjoy spending time with them when she could. Thus the early morning had found Gillian in particularly high spirits, regardless of the brisk winter weather, and the dogs had caught onto it quickly. As well-trained as the two were, Edmond and Mercedes kept their stroll at a brisk pace along the pathway. Not one to keep and train tiny lapdogs for amusement, Gillian had taken the more practical route and went with large, robust Kerwonian hounds, a black-and-tan breed known for intelligence, alertness and loyalty. The dogs panted and puffed in excitement, leading the woman around to the nearest vendor along the way. A moment was taken to shell out the gil for a coffee and the day's edition of the Valendian Standard before moving along. |
