    Gwendolyn smiled at her daughter once more. She accepted her offer for tea and then mentioned painting. She chuckled quietly.

    Gwendolyn smiled as her daughter her daughter hugged her. Naturally, she hugged her favorite child back.

    Life had decided to beat Gwen down with one blow after the other. First, her late husband. Second, her son disappearing. And if only Celty would get her act together and quit being a rotten brat. Truly, she would've expected Myrcella to be more upset than Celty - poor girl was forced into an...
