Delaney had only been home a few days when Cora came to see her. In the short time they'd been apart Cora had grown thinner and was paler. She looked tired and Delaney worried for her. There was also something different about Cora's attitude that Delaney couldn't quite put her finger on.
"I heard about Constance's father," Cora said as they sat in Aunt Flora's parlor with cups of tea, "It was sweet of Olive's parents to let her stay. And Olive sounds like she's determined to have her live with her and Bernard too if Constance needs to. I wonder what he'll think about that."
"I think he'll be understanding actually. He's seen how close they are."
"Constance can be a pain though. Not as much as Selina but definitely not easy either. I think she might need to try harder for a husband of her own as soon as she can."
