We sit down to have dinner with Nanna. Sophia keeps her eyes on the plate in front of her not even looking up when Nanna talks to her.

I get the feeling something happened today. “Sophia,” I say softly.

She swallows hard on the bite of food she just took. “Yes, Master?”

I reach over and feel her forehead. She’s not hot. “Are you feeling okay? How’s the pain?”

She takes a deep breath and then forces a smile to her lips. “Miss Ella gave me painkillers. I’m feeling okay.”

I look at Nanna and frown. “What happened while I was gone?”

Nanna looks at Sophia and then sighs heavily. “She’s been like this ever since River mentioned that she should share a room with Diane and Lizzy.”

Sophia brings the fork to her mouth and I notice her trembling hand. I gently place my hand on the back of her neck and I feel her tense.

“You don’t have to share a room with them,” I say, hoping it’s the only thing that’s wrong. “Is that what’s wrong?”

She places the fork back on the plate and just keeps staring at the food. “I don’t mind, Master,” she whispers, and the numb tone grates at my ears.

I get up and take Sophia’s hand. “Thank you for dinner, Nanna.”

Nanna smiles at me, her eyes shining with tears. “I’ll be here if you need me.”

“Thanks, Nanna.”

I pull Sophia closer and link my fingers with hers. I walk out the backdoor and she sticks close to me. We take a few steps into the darkness when she slows down next to me. I glance at her and see that she’s staring up at the night sky.

I look up at the clear night. It’s beautiful out here. The stars are out in full force tonight.

I slow my pace so she can look around. We walk past the guest houses which the guards use. Tristan comes out of his as we pass his house.

“Nice night for a stroll,” he says and then walks in the direction of the house. I know he’s going to check on Diane. I’ve seen him watching her. I once asked if he had feelings for her, which he of course denied.

When we get to my house, I open the door and then smile at Sophia. “Go in.”

She takes a few tentative steps inside and then stops.

“Welcome to my home,” I say as I walk past her. “I have two bedrooms. You’re welcome to have the guest room, then you won’t have to share. It’s more private here.” I open the fridge and pull a face at the contents. “I can only offer you beer or coffee.” I look at her and the pure look of stunned surprise on her face guts me.

I walk over to her and duck my head closer to hers. “Tell me what happened today. What upset you like this?”

She shakes her head and her hair falls over her face. She’s healing fast, the black marks around her eyes are fading to brown.

I take hold of her chin and I nudge her face back up, forcing her to look at me.
