‘Is my Daddy awake yet, Masters?’ she asked coyly. ‘I’m afraid not, Your Ladyship.’ He replied quietly. She smiled beatifically. ‘Would you like me to wake him for you?’ ‘That would be most kind, Your Ladyship.’ Masters said with a conspiratorial smile. He quietly opened the door for her and Elizabeth crept across the room and looked at her father in bed. She was surprised to see him without a nightshirt, his naked back revealed as the sheet was gathered about his waist. She smiled and climbed on to the bed and stroked her hand down his back. ‘Jess...?’ he murmured as he rolled on his back and Elizabeth climbed on his chest and sat looking down at him. ‘No, Daddy. My name is Elizabeth.’ She said softly. ‘Did you spend all night with the Governess?’ she asked cheekily. ‘I like it when I share your bed too!’ John’s eyes flew open and he jerked his head sideways to look at the empty space beside him, before he sighed in relief.
