Viola
I woke up the next morning with the worst case of anxiety I’d ever had. My stomach was rumbling for food and my head ached a great deal, I could barely breathe because Kade said the children would be here today.
I quickly sent for Valora and she helped me with painkillers after a very satisfying breakfast of fry-up and hot tea. I took my bath and Valora helped style my hair.
“ Nervous?” She asked as I sat in the sitting room, waiting for when they arrive.
“ I’m losing my mind,” I said as I fiddled with my nails.
“ Where is Kade?” I asked and she looked around as if searching for him before she said, “ Maybe he is also nervous to meet his children.”
What? They’re not his children. What is she talking about? Maybe she is joking.
I laughed and watched her reaction but she didn’t laugh, she just pursed her lips and stared at the table.
“ You weren’t joking?” I asked as my smile faded and a frown no doubt formed on my face.
