Morningstar Manor

Sunday was a day for catching up and preparing for the working week ahead:

Adam was in the laundry room, carefully turning a set of camo inside out before tossing them into the washer with the rest of his colors; Joe paused to consult a grocery list as he stood in Michaels Bros. dairy section; Jazz took a break from her errands with lunch at the Auberge.

Exciting? No. But life couldn't always be.

Sunday afternoon had Celeste leaving work early, trusting in her staff to close up by themselves. She deserved to take some time to herself, after all. And that time, today, was going to be spent in the gardens of the manor, coffee and cigarette in hand, a magazine open in her lap. Celeste wasn't paying much attention to the magazine mind you, instead looking up at the sun, eyes hidden behind sunglasses. Her high factor sunscreen would ensure she didn't burn or tan, but she still liked to feel the warmth from time to time.

After a phonecall late afternoon, Celeste had rushed back up to her apartment, checking that it was suitable for entertaining Jude. It was, thankfully, and she had enough ingredients in the fridge that she hadn't even had to pop out to buy anything for dinner. It was simple enough that she had plenty of time to make sure that she was looking utterly fabulous in an aqua dress, simple gold jewellery and black shoes to complete the outfit.

Checking her lipstick in the mirror, she lit a cigarette, standing by her open window as she waited for Jude to arrive.
