[Donald's POV]
It had been a very long time since I had spoken of these past events to anyone.
It was the matter involving Austin and Lillian that started the conversation today, and since Margaret was so eager to know about my past, I took the time to slowly tell her everything.
Margaret's final words of comfort were quite effective for me. The gloom in my heart was somewhat dispersed, and I bent down to kiss Margaret on the forehead.
Looking at her gentle and tender expression, as she lay completely obedient in my arms, I couldn't help but smile. Margaret was my 'Stabilizer'.
It had been nearly an hour since we set off from the Windstorm Pack, and Margaret seemed a bit tired. She leaned against me, closed her eyes, and fell asleep, while at this moment, a knock came from the door of our room.
Quietly closing the door in front of me, I turned my head to glance at Mark and whispered, "Speak in the front carriage."
