A Fragile Reunion

…actually, my mother should have known that no one would be excited to just read in a mansion. There were a lot of things to do! Two pools were in the house, one was even a hot pool. If swimming was not your thing, they had a movie room with a subscribed Netflix subscription.

No to swimming and movies? There was a whole room to play indoor games, ranging from billiards to chess. Lucas even had an inbuilt gym. In lieu of those interesting activities, my mother expected me to stick to the monochromatic cosy living room.

Let's even say that I was such a nerd, I would have loved to read in the outdoor reading area. Just spread myself on one of the comfortable chairs while perusing a book from the floor-to-ceiling library.

The library was one of the useless spaces in the house. Nobody uses it! Some of the books were the latest edition. Why bother to furnish a library that you don't use?
