Delaney slept in late the next morning but Vincent slept in even later. She lounged in bed for a while, waiting to see if he'd wake up. Eventually, she gave up and quietly got out of bed, ringing for Ms. Bird.
Looking around their room she smiled. It was so wonderful to be home. Dressing and having her hair done, Delaney made as little noise as possible in order to let her husband keep sleeping. She took her spoonful of medicine and slipped from the room when she was finally ready.
Downstairs it was far too late for breakfast but Delaney's stomach growled and grumbled. She walked into her sitting room where she found Cora sewing something that looked like a miniature shirt. When her friend looked up and saw her a smile bloomed across her face.
"There you are! Do you feel rested now? I can't imagine how tired you must have been."
