The Arrival of a Warm Spring
In less than half an hour, I rushed back, panting heavily.
The moment I pushed open the door, the room was deathly quiet, and my heart sank.
I stumbled into the nursery.
Hubert was just walking out. The instant he saw me, his expression betrayed a hint of guilt.
Then, he quickly smiled and took the cake from my hands.
He looked up and called out to Belinay.
“Honey, come down and have some cake.”
I looked down at Charlotte. She was sleeping peacefully, and I breathed a slight sigh of relief.
