The setting to her new home was perfect! The rooms above the garage led to a view of the crashing ocean and the start of a different life. She would not miss the grey skies and gloomy house she grew up in. She would certainly not miss her austere father who insisted on curbing her movements! Here she would follow her inclination to dress as people her age do, to paint the entire day if she wished, and to make friends with whomever she pleased. Not only was her new home promising but also her life far from Gleneagles.

To be honest I was not thinking of golf when this name popped into my mind. Instead I was thinking of a majestic sounding name for a grand home 😀

A great story and writing, Colline. It sounds like her father was a very controlling person and it’s good she got away from him and is now on her own. 🙂 — Suzanne

Yes, I imagine him to be so. It must have taken effort for her to move away.

She sounds really contented. I’m guessing that being from Gleneagles, her father was more interested in his golf than his daughter!
My go at Friday Fictioneers!

It looks like she’s going big her first time away from home. I would have far preferred that to my first apartment.

She has definitely found a beautiful place to stay.

I am sure it will not be without obstacles – but at least she will be able to make her own choices.

She did not leave her home because of golf – instead she left because of a domineering father who would not give her the freedom to express herself 😦

I was pleasantly surprised to see we had almost identical titles! Great minds think alike 🙂 I can totally relate to this story, in fact, I may have written this exact fantasy in my journal of an alternative life once as I dreamed of escaping my narcissistic father and controlling home. Lovely story.

I hope you no longer live in that environment – it can be so toxic to a person’s creativity.
