Penelope was quick to assure Jane that everything would be alright. "I'm sure you will," she replied, "I'll help you get settled in, and you'll feel at home in no time." The promise wouldn't be a difficult one to fulfill, given the dynamics of the family here. She felt a pang of empathy for Jane, knowing first-hand the insecurities and mental strife that comes with being a social outcast. Everyone here would be able to understand.

"All right, I guess it's settled then. I'll let the kids know that we'll have extra company for a few days. We've all already had our dinner tonight, but if you and Jane need anything to eat, I can provide. You and Jane can stay in room 202. It's right across from mine," Clarabelle offered. She stood up and walked to a panel on the wall with various pegs holding an assortment of keys. Finding the one for 202, she took it off the peg and handed it to Aspen. "There is only one key per room, so don't lose this. Breakfast is served at 6 AM. Hope you two can get used to strict scheduling."
