Chapter 278
"Is the weather usually like this? So quick to change I mean. Something flew with the wind and broke one of the windows. The maids are running around trying to close all the windows. The weather is odd," Rose said, looking out from a window.
The wind was strong and the rain beat down on the roof like it was determined to get inside to soak them.
Catherine was right beside Rose with a coat to cover her dress. "It is a little unpredictable at times. A storm is coming in. I don’t think it is a good idea for us to leave to see Zayne arrive. We’ll find ourselves in trouble if our carriage gets stuck somewhere and no one can come out to help us. I’m sorry."
Rose didn’t like the sound of this since she was looking forward to seeing Zayne come in on his ship. The rain yesterday hadn’t been as bad as it was today which gave her hope she would wake up to a clear sky but the weather had gotten worse overnight.
"They can make their way home in this weather, right? They know the path," Rose said, worried about Zayne’s ship.
"I’m sure they will make it home safely. It is not the first storm Zayne has been in and he has plenty of helping hands on board the ship. We should let him come home to something warm to drink. What do we have?" Asked Catherine.
Catherine was worried for Zayne because of how bad the weather became but she tried not to worry too much before Rose. One of them had to remain calm. "It won’t be long before he arrives and tells us about his journey."
"I would prefer he finds somewhere near the docks to rest until this weather calms down. He doesn’t need to come to us right away. What matters is that he is safe. This weather would be relaxing to sit and watch as long as everyone was home safe and sound. Shouldn’t the men at the gates come inside?" Rose asked, worried about their safety.
"You told them they didn’t need to be there yesterday but they didn’t want to come in. They must be fearful of Zayne returning and not seeing them at their posts," Catherine replied.
