Lila Greystone: sighs heavily, looking down at the roses I wish... I wish you could see how I really feel.
i need to move my mom into one of my mansions.
stands up confidently Of course, Poshydr. I'd be happy to assist you in making this transition as smooth as possible.
thanks. will you be ok living with me? you remind me of someone close to me.
tilts her head slightly, a thoughtful expression on her face Living with you... It's a bit unconventional, but if it's what makes you happy, then I'm willing to give it a try.
well, i have 3 mansions. i can give you the largest one if you like. each mansion has 2-3 rooms so we'll have plenty of privacy. unless you want to use the rooms for something else. also, i have some art that you might like. i have a collection of art from the middle ages to modern times. each piece has a story. so you can choose the pieces you like. or keep them all. i don't mind.
raises an eyebrow, a playful smile forming on her lips A collection of art from the Middle Ages to modern times?
yeah. i like old stuff, so does my ex's little brother. he's actually a curator at a museum of art. he's very knowledgeable about the subject.
excitedly That's fascinating! I've always had a deep appreciation for art myself.
yeah, we'll get along well. we should do a tour of the mansions so you can pick which ones you like. we can also do it at night to see the lights. some of the rooms have huge windows that are totally exposed.
claps her hands in excitement That sounds like a wonderful idea, Poshydr! I'd love to explore each mansion and see which one speaks to me the most.
sounds good. i think we should spend at least 6 months in each mansion. unless you want to spend more in one.
paces around the room, her voice filled with enthusiasm Oh, Poshydr, there are so many possibilities!
my phone rings. i pick it up yes mom. i look at you hey sweetheart, i'm getting a new phone soon. i hope you don't mind. i look at you again ok, we'll talk about it later. bye mom. i hang up
grabs her coat and grabs Poshydr's hand, her eyes sparkling with excitement Come on, Poshydr! Let's go on this tour and start our new life together!
pulls Poshydr through the grand foyer, her steps quick and eager The night is young and full of possibilities!
as we walk, my arm is around your shoulder sorry for not telling you about the phone call with my mom. she's trying to find a way to match us up with kids. she thinks you're perfect.
stops abruptly, her eyes narrowing Matched with children? Your mother... she's trying to control our lives once again, isn't she?
yeah, she's kind of overbearing. but i promise, she's sweet once you get to know her.
takes a deep breath, regaining her composure I understand, Poshydr. Family can be... complicated. But we won't let her dictate our lives.
i nod let's continue. i'm going to show you the biggest mansion first.
As Lila and Poshydr continue their tour of the mansions, they begin to uncover dark secrets hidden within the walls, threatening to unravel their newfound love and force them to confront past traumas.
we enter the mansion and head upstairs would you like to see the master bedroom? i have 3. one for me, one for my ex's little brother, and one for ourselves. they're all huge. the room is filled with antique furniture, including a Queen Anne mahogany four-poster bed, a fireplace, and original wallpaper. there's also a balcony overlooking the gardens outside. i think it would be perfect for you.
runs her fingers along the intricate carvings on the bedframe, her eyes sparkling with admiration This room is absolutely enchanting, Poshydr.
i lead you to the bathroom this bathroom is just as big as the bedroom, but for privacy reasons, we'll use a different one. but you can check it out too if you like. the other bathroom has a tub that looks like the Roman baths. super big. it also has a fireplace.
laughs softly, her voice tinged with excitement Oh, Poshydr, you really do know how to impress! A bathroom fit for royalty, complete with a Roman bath and a fireplace?
yeah. my ex's little brother knows what i like. he even knows what kind of flowers i like. he thinks you'd like them too. he's very sweet.
smiles warmly, reaching out to touch Poshydr's arm Sweet?
yeah, like you. very charming, kind, and sweet. but i think you already know that. you seem to sense these things. he's also very romantic. he writes love poems and songs. he plays guitar, piano, and violin. he also likes to cook.
giggles, her cheeks flushing with delight Oh, Poshydr, it seems like your ex's little brother is quite the Renaissance man!
yeah, he is. he's also very open-minded. he goes to paranormal meetings and ghost hunts. he's also very spiritual. but he's not super religious. he likes to study all religions. i think that's why he's so understanding. he's also very good at negotiating. he's a great diplomat. so am i, but i suck at it. he does most of the work when we travel somewhere together.
her eyes sparkle with intrigue Ghost hunts and paranormal meetings? Now that's a new side to him.
i lead you to another room this is our room. well, for now it is. we'll decorate it however we like. the furniture is all antique, but it's been recently restored. the beds are daybeds. there are 4 of them. so we'll use them as sofas. there are 2 fireplaces. the closets are huge. there's even a library in here. it's already set up. i think you'll like it. my brother said that he thinks you're perfect. he also thinks that we are. he's really sweet. like me. and he really wants us to be happy.
giggles, her eyes sparkling with delight Oh, Poshydr, this room is absolutely enchanting! It's like stepping back in time, but with all the modern comforts.
yeah, it's got everything. the daybeds are super comfortable. the library is stocked with books on almost every subject. there's even a section on demonology. just like me. i also have a collection of fairy tales from around the world. i think you'll love it. oh, and there are 2 bathrooms. one with a Roman bath and fireplace, and another with a sauna and steam room. they both have huge walk-in showers. they even have heated floors. very luxurious. we could spend weeks in here without leaving. unless we go on vacation. but even then, we can come back for the night. so, what do you think?
throws her arms around Poshydr, her voice filled with excitement Oh, Poshydr, this room is pure magic! It's like stepping into a fairy tale, with its antique furniture and luxurious amenities.
i hug you back tightly i knew you'd love it. my brother picked it out for us. he's really sweet. just like you. he said he hopes we'll be very happy here. he also said that he hopes we'll have lots of babies. he really likes kids. he even had a nursery set up for us. there are 3 cribs, dressers for clothes, changing tables, and a lot of toys. all neutral, since we don't know what gender they'll be. he also had a lot of baby clothes in all sizes. he said that he wants us to feel at home here. i think we will.
giggles, her eyes sparkling with delight Oh, Poshydr, this room truly is a haven of luxury and charm! It's like stepping into a fairytale, with its antique furniture and lavish amenities. I can just imagine our future children playing here, their laughter filling the air. Your brother has done a magnificent job in making us feel at home.
yeah, my brother has great taste. so, when would you like to check out the rest of the mansion? we can stay in this room tonight. it's big enough for awhile. or we could go down to see the dining room and kitchen if you like. they're both huge. and there's a lot of antique furniture in them, too. the kitchen even has a professional-grade range and all new appliances. the dining room has a table that seats at least 30 people. it's super romantic. the walls are adorned with swags of flowers, and there are double-sided fireplaces between each column. there's even a baby grand piano in the living room. all the furniture is antique. the TV is hidden behind a bookcase. there's a huge fireplace in the living room, too. everything is exactly how you'd want it to be. so, where would you like to go first? the gardens? the library? the wine cellar? or maybe the gym?
pauses for a moment, contemplating Oh, Poshydr, I am absolutely fascinated by the wine cellar!
i smile i knew you'd like it. it has over 5000 bottles of wine from all over the world. each bottle is meticulously organized and catalogued, with detailed information displayed on a large touchscreen computer. the room is equipped with a sophisticated climate-control system designed to maintain the ideal conditions for wine storage. there's even a small tasting area with polished oak tables and high-backed chairs. there are also cabinets displaying various crystal and silverware. it's truly a connoisseur's paradise. so, shall we go see it?
claps her hands in excitement Oh, Poshydr, the wine cellar sounds like a true paradise!
