There only a few things on earth Lucrezia love more than warm sunlight, a cool breeze, soft grass, and beautiful flowers. All of which were in abundance in one of the numerous gardens in Manderley.
She laid sprawled out on the grass, eyes closed, her fingers languidly twisting strands of her blonde hair...
"I wish this day wouldn't end," she sighed sleepily.

Kat lolled on the grass, scent of roses hanging heavily in the air.
"I'm just glad Nana hasn't kicked us out yet," she joked. "Having to plan a full dinner every night. Normally things are very quiet, and she wasn't much of a hostess even when Grandfather was alive."

"There must be some pressure with His Majesty being here and all," she commented thoughtfully.

"It certainly was unexpected," Kat said with a hint of a smile.

She opened one eye and glanced sneakily at Kat.
"But a welcome surprise, I take it," she said, making sure to sound ironically passive.

"I don't see anything wrong with admitting I was happy to see him."

"Do you love him?" she asked with a childlike candor. It didn't quite cross her mind that the question was rather forward.
Lucrezia emphatically turned and was now lying on her stomach and propping herself up with her elbows.
"I mean, do you two love each other?"
She sounded... disappointed?

Kat thought about it a moment, fingers twirling in her hair.
"I think I could. Or I'm starting to."

She pursed her lips, thinking very deeply. Whatever thought ran through her head couldn't have been nice thoughts since her forehead wrinkled into a frown. With a sigh, she lowered herself, her head now resting on her arm.
"So will you go to England with him?"

"You sound upset," Kat said gently.

Her eyes were downcast as she bit her lip.
"But England's so far away from Italy," she said quietly.

Kat smiled and reached for Lucrezia's hand, turning to lean on her elbows as well.
"I am sure we'll be allowed to visit one another."

"But you'll always be busy being queen..."
She sniffled, trying not to sound pathetic.
"And--" she added suddenly "--I hear that it's awful there. I hear it never stops raining... And that it smells."

Kat furrowed her brow.
"Lucrezia, I'll always make time to see you."
A tiny smile.
"Besides, I was born in England. I like the damp. And he hasn't even proposed! It's not like I'll be stolen away tomorrow."

Her face brightened.
"Oh. You're right," she concurred shyly. "That's good..."
