At their lunch and then again at dinner, Delnay, Vincent, and Ian were quiet. They were all thinking about what the next day would hold as well as the future in general. They were all worried about the threat to Vincent and pushed around the food on their plates with suspicion despite the cooks' promises to Delaney. They had to eat though so in the end, they would take cautious bites.
After dinner, the Duke and Duchess said good night to Ian before going to their bedroom. Upon entering though, Delaney was surprised to find Ms. Bird and Harris not waiting. Instead, laying over their bed was a pair of thick, dark, winter cloaks and pairs of boots. She turned to Vincent in confusion but found him smiling.
"I promised you a visit with the fairies before I left didn't I?"
