The Blackwood Heir

The season transition from Autumn to winter had not been a kind one to Daphne’ immune system. Granted, she wasn’t ever one for getting sick easily, she still could never escape the yearly head cold. 


And when it came, it came with a raging vengeance each time. 


Although, this time around, Daphne found that this particular head cold came with its very own stomach bug. For days on end, she could hardly keep any food down long enough without running to the bathroom. 


With her temperature slightly spiked, Alistair had demanded that she stay on bed rest until her health improved. Daphne was not a happy camper. 


The Blackwood Christmas gala was only just a few short weeks away and she did not have a single moment to waste. Thankfully, the fever did not stick around long and the awful congestion had broken up within two days. 


“I still don’t think you should be going out,” Alistair pressed.
