Chapter 88: Foot, meet mouth
A loud, frustrated scream filled the air, and Cass looked up, surprised, to hear the noise. Sam jerked also, and both men looked in the direction of the sound.
It sounded female, and Cass had a pretty good guess who it was. He also wasn’t surprised by the voice that followed.
"Ava, please! I just-"
"Why is it that none of you are on my side?" Ah. A lover’s quarrel. This was a crazy track record after the argument she had with Vespertine at the main entrance. Cass was honestly impressed. She could argue like that with her ’brother’ and then she was going to go in a few hours later with her partner? Go off. Have fun.
Cass would relish being a witness to both incidents.
"Is that Lady Ava and Lady Fiona?" Sam whispered quietly, leaning in towards Cass. Cass covered his mouth.
"Shh. Let’s watch." Cass whispered and Sam glanced at him, before he nodded. The two of them watched as the two women, who had apparently entered not from the main entrance into the garden, nor the gate that Cass had shown them before, but from the far end of the garden. That entrance was off of the front of the building, but tucked away. Cass and Sam were in the furthest corner, tucked away in the gazebo, and near where Lord Blackburn’s rooms were.
There was quite a bit of ground to cover between them, and there was a high chance that the girls couldn’t see them. He did wonder how they were speaking so loud that both Cass and Sam could hear them, given the distance between them. The wind wasn’t even blowing that strong, and they did look a bit like specs being so far away from them.
Cass could tell that Lady Ava was throwing her hands about, clearly upset. Cass felt a sick sense of satisfaction seeing that she was still upset. Was that mean of him? Maybe, but at the same time, he was sure that Lord Blackburn probably really liked seeing Lady Ava kind of circling the drain.
