Molly was working on the sewing for Clive in her room, and had already had to remove this one seam twice. She was having trouble concentrating on the spell, because Cain was outside.
Without her.
When he had said that he wanted to get some exercise and fresh air, Molly had nodded and told him that she thought it was a good idea. Then she had told him that she had sewing to work on, and would be here when he got back.
She worried, though she knew that she was being paranoid. A thousand thoughts flitted through her head: What if someone had attacked him before? What if they were just waiting for the change to do it again? What if something happened that he might not be sure how to handle?
She scolded herself for being silly and irrational, but couldn't help glancing at the door every few minutes, anyway.
When she finally heard the door open, she breathed a soft sigh of relief, and went back to her sewing, not wanting him to know how worried she'd really been.
