The scar on her collarbone had faded to a light line, almost invisible now. Mrs. Doyle called from the kitchen, “Camela! Breakfast’s getting cold, dear!” She smiled softly and replied, “Coming!” Downstairs, the air was filled with the aroma of toast and eggs.

She tried to remove the bite from her question. Delia rubbed her belly lovingly. “Kicking a lot. The midwives assure me it’s a boy.” Emilia started to congratulate her but the words of congratulations died in her throat as tears rose, she settled for a grin and a nod instead. Helos frowned at the look on Emilia’s face, it was one of untold sadness that had crept into her eyes the moment her eyes fell on Delia. Without a word he took his place at the table and called for the meal. Servants brought roasted birds, steamed peas, and cornbread to the table, jars of wine and water were placed at the center of the table. Helos began serving, heaping his platter with peas before passing the dish to
