As Madame Russell was speaking, she winked at Tobey.
Tobey took the hint swiftly. Noticing that Deirdre was still hesitant, he said smilingly, “Don’t worry about my mother, Deirdre. She still has sewing work to do and is not interested in watching musicals. We shall go ahead ourselves and consider it a diversion. You’ve been busy with the yard for days, so it’s time for you to rest and relax your mind.”
Deirdre agreed with his remark. Some enjoyed musicals, and those who did not would find them boring. Perhaps Madame Russell would find it a waste of time if she were to go.
“Alright then, Tobey and I shall go.”
“Go, go!” Madame Russell wanted to shut the door eagerly. “It will be fine even if you come home late!”
After the door was shut, Tobey cleared his throat and said, “That’s just how my mother is. She’s always so easily excitable. She is not trying to do anything. She just doesn’t want you to feel lonely. Don’t mind her.”
“I know.” Deirdre lowered her gaze and chuckled softly, feeling warm and fuzzy in her chest.
She could feel that she was smiling more during the time she spent with the Russells, even though her heart hidden in her chest cavity was still so scarred and battered by someone that it could only beat.
Deirdre held Tobey’s arm and was led to the church soon. They were assigned seats by the staff members, and it did not take long before the musical began.
As they listened to the cast’s elated voices, Tobey said softly, “Don’t you find it strange?”
“What?”
“If there is an entertainment event in the village, it will usually be a movie screening that the people commonly enjoy. It’s my first time watching a musical in the village.”
Deirdre pondered for a while and figured that Tobey was right indeed. She could not figure it out either.
Tobey chuckled and added, “Perhaps those developers enjoy watching musicals, but it is actually a good thing for you because you can listen to it with your ears.”
Deirdre nodded. The musical was very inclusive for her because it was mostly played with voices and songs. The ambiance was controlled to perfection, and Deirdre felt as if she was experiencing it personally, albeit she could not see.
