She leaned back against her seat in the carriage and looked out the window, watching the trees go by. She thought of the last time she'd left Edgewood just to go into the village and had seen Opal watching her from the woods. She wondered where the odd little witch was now.
Watching the world pass by outside she was struck by the knowledge that all the land surrounding them right now actually belonged to her husband. It was only when the carriages finally passed out of their lands that Delaney turned away from the window, her eyes landing on her husband.
