One Last Look

Glennise Brodie watched the back of the little girl who was just a year younger than her, walking alongside her mother as they entered the cafe.

Rika was worried that her new friend had offended the Duke's only daughter and she was quick to try and do some damage control.

"Miss Brodie, Vonny must be hungry and that is why she left in such a hurry." She explained with an appeasing smile.

'Vonny? Are they so close to each other to use endearing names?' Glennise wondered as she glimpsed at her playmate.

She was not bothered that Yvonne had left them without waiting for their answer but was thinking of a whole different matter.

'Her hair does look black in the shade but looks a deep shade of violet when under the sun.' She recalled the difference in the colors of her hair and nodded.

She could still remember the inquiry which Pince Fritzen had made when Princess Felicia and she were discussing news about the only daughter of Earl St. Claire.
