“ Whether I am or have ever been married

is no longer any of your concern.”

But that night, while Princess Evelyn slept, a swarm of eels tried to tip their boat. The young prince said, “I will slay these eels and protect the princess.” And he did.

Everyone pitched in to help Clara move. The boys woke up and carried small boxes before it was time for them to go to school. Eve and Florence packed and sorted through clothes. Eventually, Ben woke up and came over to help as well. He and Joe drove back and forth, dropping things off just to pick up other things. While living with Eve, Clara had accumulated a variety of knick knacks and sorts. There were fans from Spain and pots from the Middle East. Anytime a traveler came to town selling their wares, they’d always managed to make a customer out of Clara. While packing, Eve had asked her repeatedly if she were willing to get rid of anything, but Clara forbid her from throwing anything out. “Everything is inspiring.” She smiled.

Eve didn’t say anything more, because after that comment, Joe and Ben came through with a dresser. Clara helped them pick a spot for it. Eve placed another dress on a hanger and then passed it to Florence. She was sitting on the bed with a stack of black clothing spread over the sheets. The black came in every style and was made out of every type of fancy material. Clara liked the color black, but she was never dull. Clara didn’t wear black so that she’d fade into the background. Clara wore black to make a statement. That was fashion, Eve supposed.

Robert stuck his head in the doorway from the hall and looked at Eve. “Are you ready to go yet, Eve?”

Eve’s eyes widened. “Go where?”

Robert’s brows drew together. “The meeting with the board.”

Eve swallowed. “I didn’t know I’d been invited.”

“If you don’t wish to go…”

Eve stood and ran a hand over her pastel pink day dress, though there really wasn’t much to straighten. The long sleeved dress just fell straight down her slim figure, barely touching her, hiding her curves. It was a popular style. Eve liked it because she found herself able to breath in it. A pair of short cream colored heels were on her feet. A matting cream flapper hat sat on her head. It hung a little low on the sides. A flower of the same pastel color as the dress sat on the side. She hadn’t planned on going to any meeting. She twisted her hands in front of her, but stopped once she realized what she was doing. “Uh, no. I want to go.” Eve looked at him. “Thank you.”

Robert nodded. He turned to Clara. “I’m sorry to take your helping hands, but I’ll need my brother as well.”

Clara glanced at Eve; surprise on her face. Clara then turned to Robert. She gracefully took a seat in one of the red queen Victorian chairs that sat in a corner.
