"You must be overthinking this, Ericsson and I have been close for over twenty years. Do you think I will not know if he likes me?" Lady Magret's voice was calm but she could not explain why her heart was beating so fast and the bitterness in her lips seems to have disappeared.
"I am also surprised that you are ignorant about it. I thought you were only pretending," Ellen already said the first words she did not bother to hold her tongue.
"There is nothing for me to pretend about, Ericsson can not think of me in such a manner he only has attention to me because I am his late brother's wife," lady Magret replied. When she said this she did not even realize that her eyes were glowing just from talking about her friendship with Ericsson.
Ellen shook her head, although she was not an expert in such things, but the look on her mother in laws face at that moment reminded her of herself each time she thinks about Sebastian.
