I Hate This
Once Miles and Cora were gone, Delaney didn't hurry to go back in and find her husband. Instead, she sat down on the stone steps outside and tried to build up the courage to face him. Looking down at her skirt she was surprised to see dark drops of blood staining the lavender fabric. She hadn't noticed it earlier.
Vincent had been so angry. When he shouted at them like that, for a moment, he had reminded her of her father. Once her mother was gone it seemed like her father was always either sad or angry. He would lash out at her and the servants just like Vincent had lashed out at her and Miles.
Her mind wandered back to when she had first seen Vincent at the hospital after the war. He had yelled at them and thrown something at Miles. It had been then that she had first felt afraid of her husband. She was afraid of him because his actions had been an echo of her father's and she never wanted to live through that again.
