Carnal Gift
““I am sick and tired of bed, Heddy, dear.” Brighid placed her feet on the soft carpet, grasped the bedpost, grimaced at the pain in her side. “It will do me some good to stretch my legs and walk a bit. Besides, I’m only goin’ down to the library.”
Heddy’s hands were twisted in her apron, her eyes wide with concern. “If you tell me what you want, I can fetch the book for you.”
“That’s bein’ mighty sweet, Heddy, but I can do this.” Brighid released the bedpost, took one step, another. She wasn’t used to having people do things for her, felt silly asking Heddy to do her such a favor. “See, I’m fine.” “They’ll have my hide if you fall, miss.”
“I won’t fall!”
It seemed a long journey to the door, a longer one to the top of the stairs. But soon she was taking the stairs one at a time, both hands gripping the banister, Heddy following nervously beside her.
The maid gave an audible sigh of relief when they reached the bottom of the stairway.
Brighid found herself wondering if perhaps Heddy wa...sn’t right.MoreLess
