"I would like to talk to Heidi before we go ahead with the arrangement," their uncle Raymond spoke, "Aurelia if you could please take Nora and Ruth inside." His wife gave him a small nod leading them to the backyard but not before giving Heidi a worried look.
Once they were gone, Raymond asked Heidi to take a seat in front of him. She had goosebumps all over her skin at the thought of her getting married so suddenly without any prior notice. Her brain had frozen after seeing her father agree to the suggestion of sending her in place of Nora. She knew that her family or stepfamily had never taken an interest when it came to getting her married and maybe they had decided to let her live in the house serving them until the end as she did now.
