“We have to shut the systems down, NOW!” Harvey screamed as he ran towards the front of the assembly line.

“What? Why?” The foreman questioned him, not wanting to stop production if it wasn’t necessary.

“A baby?”
She sighed her frustration.
“Yes. A. Baby.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, Todd. I’m sure. I think I would know.”

Protecting her bare skin from the cool night air, Aaron draped his jacket over Holly’s shoulders.

She looked up and smiled vaguely at him as they walked on the boardwalk.

Maggie, the head house maid, scowled at Anna and barked at her.

“Go sweep the courtyard!”

Throwing a finger into the air in the direction of the courtyard as if Anna was a dullard and didn’t know where it was, Maggie glared at her until she left the room.

As she walked out, Anna was sure she heard the name of Lady Jane mentioned in undertones.
