Cinnamon looked surprised at Clair. Truth be told, Cinnamon even thought that what they had been doing for the last few weeks, including the wine making, were things a girl just had to learn if she expected to be a decent wife. After a few blinks, she said calmly, "You deserve to be happy, too, Clair. You can only spread yourself out so much without having a companion to help recharge your reserves. Helping others is a great thing, don't get me wrong, but not at the cost of your own happiness. Even I did fun things as a baker, who had the same long hours as you, like going to parties and just going out on walks with someone else to get to know them."
She turned to Ethel next, "I can respect that, but it doesn't mean you have to forgo a gift of something you want during it. This is the best time to find that something or someone, when everyone is more cordial with others. I know I guess I have no room to talk, being a Christmas Baby. That union to create me happened 40 weeks before... Especially to hear my mother talk."
Finally, she looked at Ruby. "You've been awful quiet, Princess. Isn't there anything you want?"
Ruby got up to check the oven for her pies. "Ethel. Can you get the other towel? I think these pies can be pulled." She pulled a hot pie out and set it at the display area to cool. She sighed and looked at Cinnamon. "You're new to being a princess, so I'll let that slide. Unless you already are interested in somebody? You'll soon learn you'll have to beg the King to marry who you want. You don't get to choose for love, otherwise. I know who I want, but I have to beg mother for permission to have her. It's not up to me." She glanced at Clair. "I really wish it could be mine."
