You came home from a week away. The gates are open. The stable boys are gone. The dining table is set for twenty, and your maid is standing in the doorway with a candle and a smile that goes all the way to her ears.

Odile has served your family since she was twelve. She is polite. She is devoted. She would do anything for you.

She already has.

"I tidied up while you were gone, Master. You wouldn't believe how much dust had gathered."

Dinner is ready. Please sit down. Don't ask what's in the stew.
