Goodnight Mr Tom Book Novels & Stories

No I can't "I don't think I can do this, I return the book back to Mr Jonathan tomorrow... He has to find someone else" With that I closed the book and stuffed it into my bag... That was enough excitement for one night... Not to mention scary...

Third person POV

I chew my lip, stomach tight with nerves. “I don’t know,” I whisper. She smirks. “Then maybe let him make the next move.” The mansion is too quiet when I arrive for my evening shift. No usual chatter from the other maids. No music from the kitchen. Just the cold tick of the grandfather clock echoing through the hallways, like it’s marking time for something… darker. Mrs. Donovan greets me with a stare that could curdle milk. “You’re late.” “I’m early.” She scoffs. “Damien’s study. He’s expecting you.”

Miller…Mark, as he insists I call him…is the quiet type, tall with broad shoulders and a smile that lingers a bit too long when he hands me the cash at the end of the night. Tonight was no different. I knocked on the door, and Tommy flung it open, his little face lighting up. “Haley! Come see my new robot!” He grabbed my hand and dragged me inside before I could even say hi.

The night was warm. Tom carried Rebecca across the threshold. Not a doorway. A barn door. It worked. We went back to the hotel. Everyone was tired. Happy. Liam held my hand. "Today was good," he said. "Today was perfect." We fell asleep. The next morning, we flew home. The farmhouse was quiet. Maple was happy to see us. Marmalade was indifferent. Catherine unpacked.

When I opened the door, a blast of cold air hit me like a wave. It reminded me of that scary time after a really tough delivery, when I was shivering and truly thought that I might not make it. Matthew Smith's voice came from behind me, sounding totally surprised. "Shirley? It's freezing out there. Come on in!" He did not even seem to care that I was sporting a six-month old baby bump. He pushed me aside roughly, but he was super gentle with the person he was bringing inside.

he answers getting comfy on the couch "You mean Tom Holland? I snicker at him because I know his bias is Tobey Maguire. He looks at me in mock indignation “ How dare you compare Tobey to that toddler? “ he makes as if to grab the remote and soon we are mock wrestling for the remote laughing like crazy people. After a rather loud and heated argument with a few tickles thrown here and there we settle on captain America civil war because that's our favorite avenger movie. The day speeds by as we snack and catch up about everything and nothing. It couldn’t have been a more perfect day if I had dreamt it the only not so perfect part was the invisible clock ticking down the minutes to the end of t

"In case that was unclear." "It was not unclear," I say. "Good," she says. And goes back to her case file. I go back to my laptop. Tuesday sighs from the couch. The city goes on outside. The kitchen faces it the way it always has. And this is the last chapter. Not because anything is ending. Because everything has found where it belongs. Sloane at the kitchen island with her hot coffee and her case file. Tuesday on the couch with her decisive ears. Edmund three weeks old with his grandfather's name and his mother's eyes and apparently my eyebrows.

“I’m here, okay?” I nodded slowly. “Grandma is coming for dinner tonight,” I said after a moment, my voice calmer now. “She said she wants to help.” Tom’s expression tightened for a split second before he shook his head. “That’s not a good idea,” he said quickly. I frowned. “Why not? She was here this morning.” “That’s different,” he replied smoothly. “The baby was sleeping… and I wasn’t around.” I blinked, confused. “I don’t understand.”

They did not even inform him of something like this. How could they do this?! If it were not for Heather, he would not have been able to get a glimpse into this secret at all. He could not help but complain about his father while putting on gloves and carefully taking out the book. The book had a dark navy cover, and it looked ancient.
