This was why Zelda and Caroline got on so well, Caroline found herself thinking as Zelda voiced her agreement. But then Alfred was leading the way and Caroline followed behind, finding she had to cover her mouth with a gloved hand at Alfred's comment lest her chuckle be heard.

Alfred certainly wasn't a decorater, from everything that Caroline had heard the home was better furnished than she had expected. But then again, like Shawn, Alfred was use to a ship rather than rooms on solid ground.

As she followed them she made sure to stay just far enough behind they need not worry about her presense but close enough that they could draw her into conversation if they wanted to. As they walked she turned her thoughts to what she'd like to decorate at home.

Home. It was still weird to call the house in Irvingly home. But it was. And it was her's in a way that the Delaney house in London and Boston had never been. Evander had decorated - more than Alfred by a long shot, but still there were things that needed a woman's touch and Caroline was determined to remedy that. It would have to be subtly at first so Evander and Charity did not feel she was trying to change everything, but once they grew comfortable with it and she learned her footing, well then she figured it wouldn't be much of an issue.
