Rain and thunder were no longer the only ambient sounds traversing the place. More voices and noises rose to ricochet against the walls of the manor as the daytime staff began their work.
Silas chose to walk a few inches behind Arabella whose shoulders slumped from the weight of his glare which only added to everything else she had to carry.
