If Celeste was listening to her father, she didn’t show it. Not usually so blatantly disrespectful, but the tone and the subject of the conversation had quickly put her in a mood. She filled a coffee mug that she pulled from the cabinets for herself, and then refilled Owen’s. Moving around the kitchen as he spoke, so added cream and sugar, and moved around the island until she was on the opposite side of it as him, with her mother in the middle.
Green eyes flashed over the rim of her mug as she took a drink and her ears fell off either side of her head before popping upright again. “And I got stabbed in my own bedroom,” she countered. “So, it doesn’t seem like it matters to me if I go to a concert or if I live like a nun.”
There was a pause in their argument as the thundering sound of many paws on tile could be heard moving closer to the kitchen. The interruption would keep the volume of their conversation from rising but only for a moment.
Celeste had her father’s temper.
Having likely been let in by a maid, a horde of dogs suddenly invaded the kitchen. Ruger immediately when to his place at Owen’s side, while the rest of them swarmed Celeste for good morning sniffs, having already done so with those who had gotten up earlier. Two greyhounds, a poodle, an English bulldog were upon her all at once. Celeste took her time acknowledging them, and eventually all but Princes Horsepower abandoned her. “I don’t want a guard,” she complained, regardless of how useless it was. “I don’t need someone following me around, and getting into my business all of the time.”

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
