Chương 106: Blame (2)

Annalise was quick to open the carriage door the moment the carriage stopped at the steps of Rafael's manor. She hopped outside and continued to hold it out for him. 

Rafael got out not saying a word to Annalise as he went inside. He had already told her on their way home that she was free to do as she wanted until dinner because he had matters to take care of. 

Annalise went back inside the carriage to get the fruits and vegetables Beatrice had given her along with the pastries she had packed up. She would share the treats after dinner and bring Cara to her room to enjoy a fruit or two.

"I am finished," Annalise said after she closed the carriage door so the coachman could take the carriage off to be parked and cleaned if needed.
