Love Began with the First Meeting

"Yeah. And Mr. Long seems to like her. A lot." Lucy acted all childlike and innocent. But secretly, she was enjoying the reaction she was getting from Becky. She might get her drama after all. "There was a snowstorm the other day, and Mr. Long even built a snowman with Molly in the middle of the night."

"Molly took off once, and hoped to leave for good. But Mr, Long brought her back here. I don't know why. He maintains she's a maid, but her bedroom is right next to his, and she doesn't really have much to do. Not very maid-like."

Becky's breath came in short gasps when she heard Lucy's words. Red-faced, she clenched her hands into tight fists, and trembled as she gritted her teeth. Then she opened her mouth again, but she couldn't even get the words out properly. "Brian... Last night, Brian..."

Molly couldn't speak. So Becky asked

To her, someone she couldn't see was trying to take her hand and put something in it, and it scared the shit out of her. Naturally, she recoiled and drew her hand back. A normal reaction. But her sudden movement knocked the glass from Molly's hand, and the glass dropped to the floor. The clear sound of shattering glass could be heard, and juice and

in fear and was quick to help Becky. But it was too late. Becky collapsed in a heap and she cried out in pain.
