"All around the world all around the world
I lost myself and found a girl."

The dark room was filled with light as someone had opened her curtains, allowing the sunlight to cast its rays upon the room. The condensation slid down the glass panes, forming a small puddle on the window sill; it would be cleaned later on in the day. The sound of a soft, angelic voice caused her eyes to strain as they opened, after a few moments they had adjusted to the light which allowed her to see the culprit who woke her. There he stood, arms stretched out as he held onto the curtains, back towards her as he stared out of the window, his stance was almost representing a cross as he brought the light in. Such a holy image represented purity, this was shown more by the white clothing he wore and his white, slightly curled locks. He turned, his amethyst gaze meeting her blue one.

"Good morning, ma'am."

"I want him." She looked at the new servant that had walked through the doors moments ago.
"Lia, you can't just say that, it must be discussed first." Her father, John, spoke his thoughts to his eldest child of three.
"I think it's fair, you all have a butler and a maid, I only have a maid. Samuel and Daniel have them, so why can't I?"
He rubbed the stubble on his chin as he thought for a few moments. A sigh passed his lips. "I'll think about it."

She now sat up and ran her fingers through her blonde, medium and slightly curly hair while he placed a mug of warm tea on her bedside table. Once doing that he faced the white Pomeranian, named Pipin, that attempted to portray slightly aggressive characteristics as he playfully growled, snapped and pawed the tall man. All these actions caused a smile to form upon Ash's face before a small chuckle passed his lips. He knelt down beside the bed and held out his black gloved hand, causing the pup to immediately start wagging its tail and nuzzling up to his hand.

The lady sat there with a smile on her face as she spectated a rather adorable sight that played out in front of her. "What is it that I'm needed to do today Ash?"
"Ah, well ma'am you only have two things today, music lessons with Mrs. Dalton and German lessons with Mr. Brandt." Whilst speaking he would often glance at her while keeping Pipin entertained by stroking him.
The last thing on her schedule caused a sigh to pass her lips, she knew she had to learner and since she was living in Germany but she had always found the lessons to drag. She liked her tutor, he was always patient and aided her when she was struggling but she disliked the subject.

Later in that day the Murphy family sat around the table in the dining room. Head of the household John, his wife Marion, eldest child Lia, eldest son Samuel and Daniel. The topic discussion like most nights was marriage and how Sam was engaged and getting married before Lia.
"So, do men even like you?" Daniel spoke up before one corner of his lips curled upwards to form a smirk.
"Yes, I get compliments."
Something about her sentence caused Samuel to burst out into hysterical laughter, followed by brother Daniel.
"Boys! That's disrespectful!" The horrified mother of all three raised her voice at her sons, it may have been laughter towards their sister, but she was still against it.
The blonde haired girl could help but let a small laugh escape her. "Well it's good that I don't take most things to heart."

Finding gaps in the stable walls.
