 ~ Mrs. Steve Harrington ~ It be like that sometimes.
Helena sat there thinking how very stupid her and Jane had been as teenagers, and also how lucky they were to not have injured anyone with their shenanigans. “I’m just glad that it all worked out in our favour. I bet we learnt our lesson after that cauldron incident.” That was the type of young girl Helena hoped she had been. “Oh, I’ll try my best to recall what it was. Instinct is telling me it could have been a magical firework.” That would have done the trick neatly in her opinion.
She laughed to hear the length of time it took them to clean the lab. No doubt the task had to have been done without magic. “Look at how lucky we were, with everything working out in our favour! Oh, I am so happy for younger us! It was a pity my life took an unfortunate turn that took me away from you and Violet.” There was a hint of sadness in her voice which was mirrored on her facial features.
The ‘chiding’ Violet received made Helena laugh again. Laughing was something that she was doing a lot more of recently. “I’m confident you taught Violet all the right things, Jane.” She glowed with pride as her gaze rested upon her all grown-up daughter. The question made the smile slip off of her face, however, as she shook her head. “Unfortunately, I cannot. But Jane… is it bad that I don’t want to remember? I only want to recall the good things.” |
