Kapitel 711: Going To Have Questions

“Shite…” Maeve whispered and then cleared her throat. “Yer a bit early, Alice. You should have sent word. I’d of had a room made ready for you.”

“Oh, really?” Alice asked, tilting her head to the side with a smile. “But, if I had done that, you would have been expecting me… where is the fun in that?”

Maeve let out a nervous chuckle and nodded.

“Spose that’s true,” she replied. “I know how much you like yer games.”

Alice chuckled.

“Oh, Mavie…” she sighed. “You haven’t ever seen me play games.”

Maeve took a breath and swallowed. Lower her eyes from Alice’s gaze.

Ashleigh looked toward the door hoping that Caleb had stayed asleep.

Alice turned her eyes to Ashleigh.

“Ashleigh,” Alice called. “I’m surprised to see you. I was scheduled to arrive the day after tomorrow, but you weren’t due until two days after that.”
