Fear and a Decision
Clara did not sleep that night.
The voices replayed in her mind over and over.
She was just a housekeeper.
Who would believe her?
A respected nurse. A soon-to-be wife. A powerful man lost in grief.
Against all of that, she was invisible.
But when she stepped into Rowan’s nursery that night, everything changed.
His tiny hand curled weakly around her finger.
That fragile grip said more than any words ever could.
She closed her eyes for a moment.
Fear was real.
But regret would be worse.
