A few moments later, they were all walking back up the stairs, leaving Nora behind, as she had fallen asleep after Erik had finished with her.
Erik walked at the head with Elora on his shoulder and the Ashcroft sisters behind them.
Emma looked at Erik's back with a bright smile and matching eyes, while Emily looked a little more anxious. She panned her gaze between Emma and the people in front of her before pulling Emma aside.
Emma looked at her big sister with confusion while Emily looked back at her, her black eyes filled with concern. "Are you sure you want to do this, little Em? I know you've been looking for stability and safety ever since London, but… if it's just about that…"
Emily's protective instincts were screaming out to do something, but she knew that was not what Emma wanted.
Erik and Elora naturally noticed the sisters stopped moving but didn't mind and continued on their own. They, especially Erik, wanted Emma to be sure about this.
If you like my novel, I would love some more reviews!
