Marie let a small coy smile play across her lips as she pushed her hair back out of her face and leaned back against the wooden slats of the old cabin. By the work of she could only assume god, her family’s old cabin had been in tip top shape and completely functional. For about a week she had been wandering around it, dusting off shelves and sweeping up the floors. Of course she wasn’t used to the work, and she was sure if her Mother saw her doing it that she would have a fit. But she really didn’t care. The fridge was stocked and the pantry full, her parents still hadn’t caught on to the fact that she had her Fathers credit card still. Right in the beginning she had taken out a huge sum of cash, the naive man had never put a limit on what could be taken out. She was rolling in cash, but she was smart. She wouldn’t just waste it all on everything.

Ophelia adjusted her glasses and sat at the base of the tree in her backyard, the fences and hedges were high so no one would see if she.. Sang right? No one would see who it was.. She delicately picked up the guitar and began to try to play, she really wasn't the best at this. Where was Arthur? He always played while she sang.. It was something they had done together since they were small, he used to beat on pots and pans while she used to try to sing.. Needless to say their musical talent had come a long way since then but the girl felt like she hadn't seen him all day. As soon as she manage to strum out a beat she grinned and bit her lip. "I come home in the morning light my Mother says when ya gonna live your life right.. La da da da.." she sung under her breath as she focused more so on the guitar playing than her singing. "Girls just wanna have fu-un... Oh.. La da da da.."

The blonde walked in through the cafe door and rolled her eyes as she heard the tinkling of the bell above its frame. Why did every damn shop door on main street have that thing? It annoyed her to no end, especially since when she worked she had to hear its constant ringing for house at a time. Marie brushed off the sides of her dress and walked up to the counter, she ordered an Americano in hopes that it would wake her up. The luncheon she had attended with Mother and one of her boards was tedious and she wasn't even sure what issues they had been discussing, the only reason she had been there was to try and make herself well known and liked among the older ladies. She knew the Gala's attendance next weekend would be them and their family's and children. And she knew for a fact many had young sons a bit older than her.. Maybe she could cling to one and get out of this town. Not that she really wanted to leave her home behind, she just wanted to go somewhere better. Cleaner, more pristine and well off. She was beginning to realize Bridgehaven was a tad bit to small town for her tastes.. Especially her taste in men. Marie grabbed her coffee and sat back in the booth at the back of the place, she took a sip and sighed in relief as she began to scan over the mingling crowd in the cafe.

It was pretty early Sunday morning, she knew she needed to get her Sunday rituals done before people started heading to church and seeing her, it would not help with her pretending its all a scam. She came out with her Sunday mixture and brought it outside placing a small match in the bowl and watching the herbs ignite, she loved that it was never a big flame, she remembered when it was, when she was young and have no control. As it burned she walked around the building and in the ally, she needed to circle the books store too but it didn't bother her. As she walked she mumbled her change "Bless all those who enter, bless all those within, keep thee safe from blood, from sin"

The girl looked up at the top of the door frame as she exited the Diner, her hands were a bit shaky and she could feel her heart racing. There weren't that many shops in town but she had somehow managed to hand out all her resumes. She couldn't even remember who she handed them all out to. The Diner, the cafe, the bakery, the book store.. She adjusted her glasses and quietly walked across the street to the opposite side. Ophelia knew she didn't necessarily need a job,she just wanted something to take up her free time. 'I mean let's face it', she thought to herself, 'You finish all your work for class in school, don't really have any friends in town.. You'll go crazy on your own'. She hoped she got a job at the book store, that was her absolute dream. She figured there wouldn't be many people to deal with, since she appeared to be the only one who ever went in. And she could read all day if she wanted to..

Ophelia walked over the side walk and hugged her arms around herself, the street lamps here seemed to be brighter than anywhere else. She hadn't realized how cold it was outside, her breath was escaping her lips in condensed puffs and she couldn't help but laugh at this. She kind of looked like Arthur.. Only a few more feet to the park and she could.. Well, she wasn't quite sure what she wanted to do. The girl hadn't really been out alone in the dark by herself that much..

Maybe I should get a job or, something.

The blonde walked down main street with a sense of purpose, as she usually did. She seemed to think that everything should go her way because she was in the right, her Mother had told her so. And of course since her Mother was always right, well it only made sense. With a bit of an inpatient huff she pushed past the Mother and son that stood stupidly on the edge of the side walk, careful not to touch them of course. You could never be quite sure who in this town was one of those mangy mutts. With the click clack of her heels echoing after each footstep she finally swept into her Father's pawn shop at the end of the hall, the place was a bit dusty and must filled. Here she worked for her Father and his partner, a man she had briefly met a few times and whose son she hadn't quite been acquainted with. Father said they were good people and Mother said they were of good stock. So she supposed she could get along with working in the same premises as them.
