CHAPTER 15
Tonightâs sunset was glorious. The orange sun was turning the sea on the horizon into a band of molten gold, marking the end of another beautiful summerâs day.
Violet was sitting out in the garden with Bella, Frankie and Rose. Winnie had taken herself off for a long soak in the bath, which was a good thing, Violet thought, as the young woman had been quiet since theyâd returned from their walk at the beach. She probably needed some time on her own to think. Trixie had gone upstairs with Winnie, never liking to be far away from her mistress.
âLook at that, isnât it magnificent?â Bella waved towards the horizon. âWatching a sunset over the sea makes me feel how tiny we are in the grand scheme of things. The sun keeps on rising and setting no matter what ridiculous actions humans are doing.â
Frankie put her arm around her friendâs shoulders as they sat side by side on the rug. âYou sound like a wise sage of old.â
Bella laughed. âIt does though, the sun carries on regardless of what stupid things people get up to. All through the war, while bombs were being dropped on London, armies invading other countries, it kept on rising and setting, day after day. It was one certainty in the world when all else was mayhem.â
âI remember some mornings when it was âard to tell if the sun âad risen again after an air raid, what with the amount of smoke billowing up from the inferno at the docks,â Frankie said, in a heartfelt voice.
âAnd thank goodness that is now in the past,â Violet said. âAnd that peace has been restored.â She regarded the three young women, thinking how their time working at Station 75 and their experiences of rescuing casualties in a city under attack had bound them together. It was part of their shared history, something theyâd always remember. Others who hadnât experienced it couldnât understand what it had been like. That made their friendship even more precious because they understood each other.
âWeâll never forget what we went through, but we need to move on into the future,â Rose said. âLook at how our lives have all changed since then.â
âAnd one of us is about to make another big change.â Frankie smiled at Violet. âOnly a few more days and youâll âave a husband.â
Violet nodded, her mouth breaking into a smile. âIndeed, and thatâs something I never thought would happen! And Iâve been thinking about what Iâm going to wear and would like to accept your kind offer to restyle the wedding dress.â
âReally?â Frankieâs eyes widened.
âYes. If youâve come up with some different designs, we should choose one tonight. Then Iâll go home and fetch the dress in the morning and borrow my motherâs sewing machine and box with all her equipment in it, and we can get started,â Violet suggested.
âThatâs fantastic!â Frankieâs face lit up. âIt will be so much nicer to get married in a proper wedding dress.â
âWhatâs this?â Rose asked.
âFrankie
