Scarlet did not know if a group of people could all be shocked into awkward silence at once, but that was exactly what happened after Emory spoke up.
Since when did she consider them all to be family?
"I have been meaning to ask you dear Scarlet, why are the flowers leading up to the castle mismatched? They are also so close to the ground.
I want to uproot and replant them." She smiled at Scarlet, looking at her with a look of affection.
Scarlet felt the heebie jeebies!!..Being stared at affectionately by Emory was sort of making her skin crawl.
"With your permission of course." Emory added.
Everyone looked at Scarlet, piercing her with their gazes that carried a myriad of emotions.
Some wondered if this was the hallelujah moment when Scarlet would choose to embrace forgiveness and go along with Emory.
