Breakwater Beach
“They settled into tiny but neat rooms. Elisabeth peered out the window at passersby in the Public Garden, overcoats and muffs on, their boots tromping through the fresh snowfall. Flakes still fell, fuzzy motes dancing in the gaslights’ yellowish cast.
She unpacked her formal dress and hung it to shake out the creases, and laid out the matching hat and shoes, pleased that the deep green projected an air of authority and control.
Sara started to the door when she heard Jared’s knock. “Let...’s get supper, Elisabeth.”
“Go on without me. I’m not hungry.” She hadn’t slept well on the overnight trip, and perpetual anxiety had ruined her appetite.
Sara didn’t argue, closing the door behind her. It would be wonderful if Jared proposed to Sara, and Paul and Katherine went to work for him. Then she’d only have to worry about herself. The thought of selling Ruddy and closing the door of the house behind her forever brought tears to her eyes again.MoreLess
