The rest of the week would go about perhaps as much as Dorrance expected it would: with a lot of mini heart-attacks. She had to keep Ren indoors at all costs, and while THAT was easy to do, the house still had their share of threats.

Around noon one time, Dorrance and Ren lounged in the drawing room with the blinds closed. Dorrance had just started reading up on one of her alchemy books while Ren could idly practice on her instruments. Viola had also just set tea.
That said, Ren would notice Dorrance squinting her eyes and placing the words close to her face. She also stooped forward so that she was raising the lantern closer to the pages.
