Alessandra waited for Melody to gather herself before they walked out of the room to meet with the others again.
"We cannot keep Isabelle away for too long, or she will pout. We will have to say that we were planning something in secret for her season," said Alessandra.
"I have been planning to be with her since you must be so busy with Lily now. Has Lily found a gentleman she would consider marrying, or will she be like Elijah to go through many seasons?" Melody asked.
"I do not know if Lily has anyone in mind. If she does, she will share it with Penelope first," Alessandra replied.
"Mother," Penelope called as she walked up to her aunt and mother. "We would love to have a picnic outside since the weather is so wonderful. Would you and Aunt Melody join us?"
"We would make the food," Lily offered.
Edgar didn't like the sound of this. "You wish to poison your mother and aunt?"
"No!" Penelope and Lily answered.
"We have made food before," Lily reminded her father.
