The book and the bay leaf
I was in my father's study after the funeral, his funeral. I'd love to stay here, but it wasn't safe living in this big house all alone. So this afternoon I'd be going to live with my Aunt Cassie till I was old enough to live on my own. My Aunt Cassie was my only living relative, and she seemed nice enough, even though I've only met her once or twice before. My father was a very rich man, but we were close. So no one was surprised that all of his inheritance went to me, but Aunt Cassie was conviced that I had to live at her house, she wasn't big on moving to other places, hinse why I never saw her.
