Book of the Moment: 6/12/11
Having a horrible time trying to concentrate on anything at the moment. My whole world was turned upside down today in the best most amazing way. Not something I ever expected would happen but I am just...yeah. Happy. So very happy.
Reading wise it's been a bad couple of weeks. Week before I pretty much new that there would be next to no reading I was busy from start to finish and reading and riding in a car and I do not get along. But last week I have no excuse I had plenty of time to read and just didn't. But still I managed to get almost through my book and would have finished to day but stuff happened but that just means I'll finish it tonight instead.

I went through the kitchen toward the front of the house. In the foyer, I took a right and headed up the stairs. I had no idea how the bedrooms were laid out. I moved down the hallway from room to room. At the end of the corridor, there was an intersecting T with a sitting room on the right and a bedroom on the left. I could see Serena lying on a four-poster bed, covered with a light blanket. The room was sunny and spacious, yellow-and-white paper on the walls in a tiny rosette print. There were white curtains at the window, and all the woodwork was done in white.
Serena didn't seem to be asleep. I knocked on the door frame. She turned her head and looked at me. I didn't think she'd been crying. Her face was pale, unmarked by tears, the expression in her eyes more one of resignation than sorrow, if one can make that distinction. She said, "Are they finished out there?"
I shook my head. "It'll probably be a while. You want me to call anyone?"
