Constance smiled and nodded. "Wonderful!" But her expression changed as she saw Ann's expression and slid her arm to link with Ann's. "It will be okay, it'll just take time." She paused and then grinned at her friend. "And what kind of friend would I be if I couldn't find a variety of things to keep you occupied, hmm?"
She patted Ann's arm as they kept walking. "Well, one of the girls has left, though quite happily but she'll be missed. And I've just finalised acquiring another piece of property in town, though I don't know what I'll do with it. Too bad it wouldn't make a good place for you. Other than that, it is my sad boring life," Constance added with a slight giggle for her life was anything but.
