Chapter 36: Cora's Home

 The day after her party, Delaney woke up early despite going to bed very late. She was on edge, waiting to hear something from Vincent or Miles or even Cora. Someone that could tell her where things stood with Vincent today after their argument.

 After her Uncle Felix had heard about the encounter he seemed quite unsettled too. Her Aunt had scolded her much as Constance and Cora had, for the unkind things she said to Vincent as well. Delaney told them the same thing she had told her friends.

 He had surprised her and she hadn't been prepared. She didn't want the conversation to go that way.

 Delaney dressed in a blue gown and looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were a bit red with shadows underneath them. She looked pale and tired. Her bed called for her to get more sleep but her worried mind wouldn't allow it.
