Mable had to wonder why Ale had said to meet in Mable's office. But maybe she just wanted to get out of her own for a while. Or Maybe she just wanted to see how Mable had decorated.
There was a dark stained small round table with several dark red leather desk chairs around it giving an old fashion library or study feel to it. Most of the walls were lined with full bookshelves. Gone were all the references to lemonade (on humid days the faint odor of lemons still could be detected). Mable's desk was a small simple dark wood. On the walls were paintings done by local artists of misty woodland scenes and some of birds. In general it was a quiet warm feeling and sanctuary which reflected Mable in ways many might not understand.
Mable was working on writing in a leather journal while she waiting for Ale. Mable was wearing a simple black outfit.
