Delaney had nightmares for days but did as she had told Cora she would and gathered a wagonload of food for the men fighting the dragons. She used all her connections she'd made from her parties with Vincent and got the highborn ladies to donate, all trying to outdo one another to make themselves look the richest.
The wagon was sent away and Delaney frowned. She'd wanted Cora to see her do this and agree it was a better task for women like them. She hadn't seen her friend for a week since she left the stables. Even thinking about the terrible place made her heart start to race.
Selina came to visit Delaney not long after and when Delaney told her what the younger girl had been doing, Selina was shocked as well. She agreed that Cora shouldn't be doing such things and she would do better helping them, sewing shirts and things for the men. "We need to focus on helping the men still fighting," she'd argued, "We can worry about the wounded once the war is over."
