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 began serving, heaping his platter with peas before passing the dish to

She wasn’t sure what this new chapter would demand from her. When she reached the bedroom, she quietly opened the door, expecting to find the space empty and inviting. Instead, what she saw made her stop in her tracks. Mrs. Hayden, the housekeeper, was standing by the bed, holding Delilah’s large black book—the book!
