If I didn't know any better I would have said that the widow and Sofia shared ties, with that look of utter defiance she was giving me.
But Sofia looked nothing like her or her daughters in fact. With her brunette strands, honey brown eyes and freckleless face. I don't even see the resemblance between her and the late Mr Blake. From the pictures I've seen, the man was dark haired and his eyes were of the same hue as his hair.
Perhaps that was why Alicia hated her so much, she must remind her of herself. That's if the girl I've had dealings with over the last few days reflected a fraction of herself at home.
Knowing her I believe she must have. It was hard not to imagine Sofia being her impertinent self. I suppose over the years, Alicia found a way to keep her in check. To keep her under a leash like a lapdog.
