Matilda's P.O.V
Violet and I sat in the library for a couple more hours browsing through the books her girls have gathered all around the empire. It would seem that she really did have a profound love for all things about books, seeing her light up so much from all the books we silently read together after our conversation earlier.
I was right to assume the worst when she told me she learned how the eldest felt about her. That boy was too reckless to make the decisions and requests of pleading with me in the past. So all of that shameless begging was not to save her as his sister but as a woman, he had placed on an even higher pedestal.
