want to see, “Blake said.

“Me too!” Madison said, not to be excluded. The kids hurried to the bedroom where I could hear them playing with toys.

I exhaled a breath I didn’t realize I had been holding.

“Don’t worry,” Ivory said. “I know you are nervous about being here, and I get it. I’d be nervous too, especially with two kids to look after. But you aren’t alone here. The other servants and I are going to keep an eye out and an ear out for you. If anyone so much as sneezes in your direction, we’ll know about it. We’ll look out for you and your kids like you’re one of us. No one has forgotten how kind you had been to us.”

“Thank you,” I said. “I do appreciate it, and appreciate you. I’m so grateful to have you as a friend.”

Ivory smiled. “Yeah, well. You helped me out a lot, and now your kids are Blake’s friends. That practically makes us family.”

I like that I said, and we smiled at each other. After a moment, that smile slightly faded. “Benedict told me Clara was sent away to be married. Did she say anything to you? Have you heard from her? Is she alright?”

“Clara didn’t know him. Her parents arranged everything, but after what happened to Ophelia, the tensions really rose around here. Maybe because of Clara’s previous actions and friendship, her parents saw the danger and sent her away. I haven’t heard from her since then.”

I paused a moment. “What happened to Ophelia?”

“Oh,” Ivory said. “You wouldn’t know, would you? It was a few years ago now, so I forgot. She up and disappeared, leaving behind only a blood splatter, no body. Some people believed she used what remained of her connections to escape, but many think she was killed and the body disposed of. Honestly, no one knows the truth. Well, except those who did it, I guess.’

Grayson’s POV

I was sitting in my office, trying to hurriedly attend to my day’s business so that I could return to Lily and the children and help them settle in. Lily would be interested to some of the changes around here, and he was eager to show the children the gardens for the first time. He bet Madison would like the flowers.
