Hello and welcome! I have endlessly been reading Andith stories for the past 6 months. And I am not going to lie I am slightly obsessed. It dawned on me that maybe I could be brave enough to write out some words of my own and contribute to the huge community that is Andith Fandom. So without further ado, I give you my submission.
The first rays of sunlight lit up the room as Anna pulled back the velvety green curtains. Afterwards she ever so slightly opened one of the windows allowing a smooth breeze and the dawn chorus of melodic birdsong to drift in.
Before she carried on with her morning work she took a moment to look out of the window and admire the view. After all my lady was still asleep, and any rate she wouldn't mind. She never did. Anna often reflected that this room was her favourite, although she should probably keep her opinions to herself. The décor was different to that of Lady Mary's room. It was softer. More feminine but not extravagant with florals. Stepping into this room had the ability to set the occupier at ease almost instantly and offered a subtle sanctuary in which to roam.
Anna turned and absently scanned the room before moving on to her next task. She had just started towards the bathroom to begin running her lady a nice hot bath. When she stopped abruptly. And looked towards the bed.
It was empty. Where was she? As Anna began to move towards the bed, she noted that it had obviously had been slept in as the sheets were rumbled and there appeared to be something on the pillow, which she couldn't quite make out from where she was standing. Only when she was stood next to the pillow did she in fact realise that it was one of the new lace negligees neatly folded, that had been bought for her trousseau. Anna picked up the nightgown with some confusion, noticing it still held some warmth. Anna frowned, so my lady had indeed been here recently, but where on earth was she now, she mused.
It was not uncommon to find her bedroom empty in the morning. After all she had always been an early riser. Never one to make a fuss and wait for a maid to assist her with dressing for day. If the mood struck her she would simply rise, draw her own bath, dress and set her hair before the morning papers had been pressed. But, this was certainly not expected. Placing the nightgown back on the bed, Anna turned and made her way towards the hallway door. She slowed down and stopped in the doorway with her hand on the handle. She stood briefly for a moment and cast her gaze about the room once more. The reason she did this, she could not say, and with a small exhale she slowly closed the door. Not before locking her eyes with the beautifully white wedding gown hanging on her wardrobe, as the door shut.
Yes this was most definitely not expected.
So yeah. I know its short, but I hope that leaves you intrigued enough to come back for more. I have a 4 year and a 10 month old baby, so expect short but frequent updates from me. Unless you think it is entirely awful and I shouldn't continue further. Please any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I have thick skin - I can take it !
