The family room was set up in a cozy way, with all the couches in place like a theater. The family ate with everyone, including the very diligent servants of the manor, for this surprise. Everyone carried smiles and waves of laughter were heard all across the mansion.
There was plenty of food for everyone, yet their hearts felt already full.
For the past twelve years at this time of year, everyone had exhausted every ounce of energy to make it as perfect as Nina herself. It wasn't that the servants weren't allowed to enjoy the occasion—they were—but the workload was so intense that even the Bennet couple would collapse into bed right after the party.
But tonight, this particular day, felt truly special. Not just for Penny or the family, but also for those who had worked tirelessly in this place.
