everything is changing

the house feels different. empty. the other subs are gone. madam’s secretary has already left to make sure the rental villa is set up. and madam herself leaves thursday morning.
i’m staying behind to finish closing out the estate—overseeing the last of the packing, making sure everything gets sent with the movers. cook is still here for another week, handling the kitchen and food service supplies, deciding what gets packed and what gets donated. after that, she’ll be visiting family before rejoining us later this summer when madam’s new estate is ready.
once cook is gone… it’s just me.
alone in this big, empty house, night after night. no sounds of other subs moving around, no whispers in the halls, no routine punishments or tasks shared with others. just silence. just waiting.
i know it’s temporary. but damn, it’s going to feel like forever.
duckie, I think it would be a wonderful time for you to catch up on your reading – don’t you still owe me a book report?
Focus on getting everything done and time will fly by – before you know it you’ll be joining Nora.
