Mason Blackwood

Things greatly improved between them in the following weeks. They were not exactly best friends but they were accommodating of each other. Henry had healed considerably although he was yet to return to work.

Ashley on the other hand had become abreast with the workings of the house and was bonding with Asher. She and Henry never engaged in their constant squabbles anymore and their hatred for each other had decreased considerably.

She was late to work today. She had woken up a little later than her scheduled time. She and her mother had engaged in one of their arguments again. She had thought after the death of Mrs Denver, that things were better between her and her mother but she was mistaken. Getting the new paying job didn’t help in any way, there was always one debt that needed to be paid off. To her mother, she was never doing enough. She sighed audibly.

As she opened the doors she dreaded meeting with Henry, she had shown up late to work more times than she had arrived early.
