Maisie assured her there was plenty of food left over from the picnic to provide supper. “Take the rest of the afternoon off and play with Dolly. The poor child has been moping about the place since you left.” Beatrice fell on her knees before the child. “Did you think I had left?” Dolly nodded, her eyes full of unshed tears. Beatrice folded the child into her arms. “I’m sorry. I would never leave you. I only went out for walk.” Dolly’s tears wet Beatrice’s neck as she rocked the child back and forth. Oh, if only she could ease the pain this child carried. She got to her feet and took Dolly’s hand. “Let’s go outside for a while.” Maisie smiled her approval as they left the house. Beatrice looked around. She must avoid Levi at all costs after that scene at the river. She rubbed her arm with her free hand, trying to erase the feel of Levi’s arms about her.
