In the October Wind

The next few days were spent in a routine that Charlotte had unintentionally set. In the morning hours, after she woke up, she would leave Lord Hunt’s room and after eating, would head to the library to work on putting together the story of The Lords and Lady of Willow Creek. When the afternoon came around, it would be lunch and then she would tend to the gardens until sunset. After that, she would spend the rest of the evening and night with Lord Hunt. The first tasks were always changing his bandages and allowing him to feed. They would spend the rest of the night just enjoying each other’s company before retiring together.
