Felicia listened to his explanation, then quietly looked away. She didn’t say a word.
He kept going. “About you going out dancing somewhere like that the other night… Yeah, I was really upset.”
Felicia stayed silent.
The whole living room slowly slipped into quiet. The only sound left was the echo of some variety show playing on TV.
After a while, Felicia got up and went upstairs.
The next morning, Felicia was up early. She dressed Anne in a gorgeous new outfit, another elegant dress, almost identical to last night's. The nanny pinned up Anne’s hair and added hairpins, leaving her looking like a perfect little princess.
Felicia couldn’t help herself—she took a few photos. Anne just looked so pretty and cute.
They stepped out of the bedroom. Anne spotted her dad and ran over, calling out, “Daddy! Good morning!”
Max scooped Anne up easily. “Anne, you look just like a princess today.”
Anne shook her head, smiling big. “I’m always a princess! When I grow up, I’ll be a queen.”
Max grinned. “So who’s the queen right now?”
“Mommy, of course! Mommy’s the queen, and Daddy is the bodyguard.”
He laughed. “How come I’m the bodyguard?”
Anne grinned. “Because you have to protect me and Mommy! Obviously you’re the bodyguard.”
“Alright, I’ll be the bodyguard.”
He looked at Anne with so much love. When his eyes shifted to Felicia, they still held a touch of that gentleness, but she gave him just a quick, distant glance. Her eyes, usually so expressive, showed nothing at all.
After breakfast, Max said he needed to take Anne to the hospital. The whole Hawthorne family planned to visit Brysen.
Anne turned to Felicia. “Mommy, come with us?”
Felicia shook her head gently. She didn’t care about Brysen’s health.
