Lucia got home in the afternoon with Caroline. Lucia opened the door and took off her coat.
"Hello!" she called out, "Lucia is home!"
"And Caroline!" Caroline whisper-shouted excitedly.
Lucia looked at her and grinned.
Their housekeeper walked into the foyer.
"Your Highness," the woman said with a curtsey to Caroline, "Miss Handhoff, your mother is not at home right now."
Caroline pouted, "Aww… I was expecting a better welcome back!"
The housekeeper smiled as she excused herself.
"We can wait for them," Lucia said with a smile.
"What other choice do we have?" Caroline retorted as she began to make her way up the stairs.
She followed after her sister, and they both parted ways at the top of the stairs.
