The Need to know

Astrid

"I have to talk to Gamel."

Samantha paused mid tightening the strings on my corset. "But why Milady?"

"I just feel like he knows something," I replied as she drew the strings back once more and then knotted them together.

 

"Thank you," I murmured, turning around to face her.

"You are welcome milady."

 

I ran a hand down my front and gave her a small smile. "If my husband asks, tell him you don't know where I went," I gently instructed before heading towards the door.

 

"But what if Gamel doesn't know anything?" Samantha asked, trailing after me.

 

I placed a hand on the knob and pulled the door open, "I think he knows something."

"W…what if he doesn't agree to tell you anything then?"

"He will," I answered with fake confidence before exiting the room.
