Elsie clutched the toy prize.
Joe was a prize.
She’d never thought, at her age, she’d received such an offer: a farmhouse, a husband, even the promise of grandchildren. A life of her own; not one dictated by her employers.
A brief knock startled her.
A young maid came through her parlour door with a tea tray, setting it down on the low table.
After the girl left, with a respectful curtsey in her direction, Charles entered, wordlessly settling into a chair and pouring tea.
She lowered herself into the chair beside him.
She would refuse Joe in the morning.
