Old Friends

      Delaney had told her husband a tear-filled goodbye before leaving their bedroom and then their home.  Miles and Violet both hugged her tightly before Miles helped her up into the carriage to join Ms. Bird.

      Bernard and Duncan were both mounted on horses surrounded by at least a dozen guards.  Vincent had wanted her to take all the guards but she had insisted some be here for him.

      Looking up at Edgewood as they headed away down the gravel drive, she couldn't believe she was leaving her home again.  Leaving her husband again.

      She thought when she came and told him that she was pregnant that she would be able to be at his side for the rest of their lives.  It broke her heart to say goodbye to him again so soon.  She didn't feel whole when she was away from him.
