Sarah spent the day exploring the windowless chambers. Mr. S indicated that a suite of rooms were to be for her personal use. The bed was high, so high that a little step stool nestled next to it. She was excited to see that it was a four poster bed hung with gauzy lilac curtains. The coverlet was white eyelet and satin. The furniture was golden with tiny flowers painted across it and pictures of swans on glassy lakes flanked the ornate mirror over the mantle.<br/><br/>Adjacent to the bedroom was an old fashioned bathroom, complete with a claw foot tub and a toilet with the tank high on the wall. The sink was a pedestal and two faucets, one that ran cold and the other hot. This room held a wardrobe which contained fluffy towels and lavender soap. Beyond the bathroom was a dressing room . Three walls held mirrors. Sarah peered at herself wearing the beautiful black mask and tweaked her hair behind her ear. She made a moue with her mouth and then laughed as many Sarahs moued back.<br/><br/>Sarah trailed her fingers over the ivory damask wallpaper, scooting her bare feet over the sleek Persian rug that covered the dark hardwood floor. She examined the wingback chairs that held chenille throws as she made her way to the "Study", which is what Mr. S had called it.<br/><br/>The Study had walls lined with books, floor to ceiling books. Sarah had never seen so many books outside of a library. A massive cherry wood desk held green clerk lights and a new laptop.  She was surprised to find a stack of text books, just like the ones from school. Sarah frowned. She had hoped to escape school if she ran away with Mr. S. but he had let her know that he valued education.<br/><br/>She wanted to please him, in all things. She smiled at the lovely dress that he had remade for her. Sarah had been surprised that he could sew. Maybe he would teach her how. She had tried to take sewing at school but the budget cuts had nixed the program.  Sarah was happy. Deliriously happy. She would be everything Mr. S would ever need and they would live happily ever after.
