As the light coming from the windows bounced off the hardwood flooring and walnut furniture, it filled the room with a warm hue, making her fair form look cold and pale in comparison. Upon entering the study, Grace leaned back against the elaborate wooden desk that stood at the centre, her hands clung to the edge of the furniture on either side of her waist. The expression on her guest's face hinted that Justina wasn't quite happy to be alone with her. She seemed concerned, rather. Thankfully, Grace doubted it would be a long conversation. "Please, have a seat." She still asked. Other than the chair behind the desk, there was another armchair in the corner.<br/><br/>It was difficult to look anywhere but the woman's swollen belly, but Grace managed to shift her gaze to the young woman's almond eyes instead. "I still remember how excited my mother was when she was with Greg." She recalled some fond memories. "Used to make me put my ear up to her belly." Tapping one of her foot against the floor, the woman continued. "Little kicks, yes? Do you hear your brother, Grace?" Her father loved children, something Justina probably already knew. After a daughter, he was admittedly extra happy that it was a boy that time. "So, I already have a brother." Finally, Grace began to get to the point. "I hope you're not here to tell me I'll have another one." Quite an unlikely thought, but it was still a concern she happened to have.<br/><br/>"Otherwise dear," she continued, while the room began to get darker, clouds gathering in the sky to make the weather match her current mood a bit better, "I can't say I care much about what kind of extreme sports you've done with whom." Not so politely perhaps, but she revealed that she knew about Justina's business, to a degree.<br/><br/>***<br/><br/>Since people seemed to be gathering in the parlour, which hinted that Rikkie was doing her job properly, Audrey ended up walking into there as well. While she silently glanced across the room, she couldn't help but think how happy Marcus would have been if he had been here, among so many loved ones. Just because she was working for his daughter didn't mean she hated the man. It was the opposite, really. Other than that, things seemed quite normal. Rikkie acting a bit shy, Karl being the ladies' man. And Lucia, well she sadly didn't know her well enough to consider what could be considered normal for this particular woman. Perhaps, it was an excellent time to introduce herself. Before that, however, she wanted to see Rikkie first. She found the maid in the foyer.<br/><br/>"Waiting for someone?" Audrey asked, given the girl's proximity to the entrance of the building, which was quite normal considering her job, really. "Rikkie, was it?" The smile Audrey had wasn't necessarily forced as she approached the redhead. "Oh, could you turn around for a moment?" She asked.
