Chapter 15 Smiles

• Harry and Laura left for their honeymoon not far from the city; they would return in a few days, leaving her completely alone in her new role as wife. Alone with Daniel and the children trying to adjust to her new life and the family's daily routine.
• In the morning, the children went to school and Daniel to work, which left her with most of the day wandering around this big house not knowing what to do. She spent most of her time in the small room he had arranged to resemble a music room. They had even put in a piano and some other instruments. The acoustics were good and Deanna could sing without the sound traveling through the rest of the house.
• That first week she decided to stay on the sidelines to observe how she could fit in. In the morning they all had breakfast together, and then Daniel would drop the children at school on his way to work. In the afternoon when they returned, the older ones would shut themselves in their rooms and he in his office. The only one who seemed unwilling to leave her alone was Jonathan, who would run to find her as soon as he entered the house.
