Love.In The Shadows

The next few days were the worst. I and Aiden avoided each other, no greetings, no talks, no banter. Daymon on the other hand was unusually soft and didn't rough handle me. He had even made coffee the morning I fell sick. Aiden for some reason had been there too, but I told him that I didn't want to see him. Of course he had ignored me and ask a maid to see to me.

"Here have this," the maid said, handing me a tonic and I peered at the liquid in the bottle.

"I don't want this, Esther," I said and Esther shook her head. I didn't blame her, I was as stubborn as a mule.

"It's for your health ma'am," she said and I made a face.

"It's bitter," I said and Esther laughed. She caught herself and made a sheepish face.

"Sorry," she apologized and I smiled.
