A BAU DAY
Bryn was in a cheerful mood this morning. The sun was shining through the
kitchen window, and she looked out onto the glorious spring day outside.
Spring was her favorite time of year in Vale. The courtyard of the Keep was
filled with early spring flowers, their white and purple heads poking out of
the ground. A few robins hopped around the flower beds, looking for some
early worms. The spring rains promised a season of prosperity. The drought
had lingered these past few years, and she dared to hold her breath and
think it may be over.
She was bustling around the kitchen, and placed a ham sandwich in the pail,
along with a piece of leftover birthday cake from Jamie’s fifth birthday
party.
“Daddy!” Little Jamie said excitedly, jumping up and down, his dark eyes
flashing.
Ricco bent down and kissed his son’s little cheeks. “Be a good boy for your
mother today.” He ruffled his son’s dark hair and picked up his lunch pail
from the counter. Their son was wild, and Ricco chuckled. His son took
after him in more ways than just looks. Jamie stood up quickly, his eyes
pleading.
“Can I go with you, Dad, and see the goats?” Jamie asked. Bryn clasped the
squirming boy by his shoulder and wiped his face with a warm towel. He
struggled at first and then gave her a dirty look and let her clean his face.
“Jamie, I’m going to the mines today. Your Grandpa needs a little help. You

“Good morning!” Bryn chirped brightly, giving her father a canteen of tea
and a breakfast muffin. She kissed his cheek, and then turned to her mother.
“I’m going to be interviewing nannies for Jamie today. Would you like to
join me?”
“Of course, although I don’t know what to look for in a nanny,” Atena said,
sitting down and pouring herself a cup of steaming tea.
Bryn thought as she turned to the sink and observed the dishes waiting for
her. She could leave them for the maid but preferred to do them herself if
she had time in the morning. “I can ask Maura if she can watch Jamie this
afternoon, and then I want to go to the mine and check in with Dr. Voss and
the clinic. After the last nanny left, I feel like I’ve been leaning on her hard,
but she doesn’t seem to mind.”
“Maura is a kind soul. I don’t know what we would do without her,”
Edmond said, looking pensive for a moment. He leaned against the counter
and drained his mug of tea in one long gulp. With a sigh, he put it down on
the counter next to the sink, and then picked up his hat. “Come on, Ricco
