Eden froze in her tracks all too much like a frightened deer. She tried to hide it by brushing fussily at the skirt of her dress as Elliot rushed to join the two of them. Her mind worked quickly as to how she could spin the story of her flagrant disobedience. She cleared her throat and blinked through her eyelashes at the man glaring down at her.
“Lord Wilder. What a pleasant surprise.”
She scooted one step closer to Ethan and put her hand on his shoulder almost protectively. “Ethan wanted to thank his uncle for his new toy truck. Didn’t you Ethan?” She pushed at his shoulder indicating that he should do as she say. “Go on.”
The boy obeyed with a shy thanks.
“What good manners you have, Ethan.” Eden cooed and she even dared to pet the child’s hair. She hoped her demonstration proved that she was doing what Elliot had told her to do. Raise the child. Although, he hadn’t told her to raise him to be a proper child. Just to not let him die. But Eden often stretched the bounds of Elliot’s instructions.
“Well, it’s been a long day, hasn’t it?” She asked of the boy who nodded in agreement. “Perhaps it’s time for a nap then?” Her eyes shot to Elliot as if indicating that the suggestion was more for him than the five year old. As if this would get her out of whatever trouble she had walked right into.
