Laura sat on a blanket that was spread out on the lawn, close to the hedge maze. The twins enjoyed playing inside, and she could hear them, even if they couldn't be seen, if they were up to mischief or got themselves into trouble. Though at the moment they weren't far from the blanket, they played in a sandbox that James had built for them.
With James off helping with the farm, she made habit of staying at home during the day. As she had before he had come along. A little quirk of a smile turned up her lips as her senses told her that Marta was close, and quite happy. She turned as she grew close enough to be seen. "Hello."
