Tell me what I should've done with my life
I can't afford to carry
Indecision hanging around my neck
If I let it go on forever, then that's who I am
24th December, 1894 — Grimstone residence, Bartonburg
They had already sent their apologies, and no doubt Daffy had told all her sisters personally one way or another, to boot, so Elias had supposed it well understood that she was on bedrest, and as such they weren’t coming to the family’s Christmas eve party.
Apparently not, because a couple of hours before the family party was set to start, Daffodil’s mother was on their doorstep. Elias had let her in as far as the sitting room (this now seemed like a mistake) but had just told her that he was fairly sure Daff was currently asleep. And that their plans had not changed, because she was still – surprise, surprise – on bedrest. “Laurel,” he said, trying his level best to be patient – although he and Daff had been walking on eggshells so much around each other that these days he really had little energy left to spare on other people. “I’m sure you really won’t miss us.”
