Frederick returned straight to the church from Brightwater Cove, and everyone was occupied until late into the night before they could head home

Marguerite was still sleeping in Lavernes inom, with Frederick lying next to her, a small gap always maintained between them

Marguerite didn’t say anything, her eyes glazed as she stared at the ceiling

Frederick Tumed on his side, looking at Marguerite’s modest profile through the moonlight, and softly whispered, “Marguerite, tell me about your childhood”

Marguerite turned her gaze towards Frederick, a fleeting emotion passing through her eyes before she turned back to stare at the ceiling once again.

Her thoughts gradually drifted back to the past.
