“Okay,” I whispered, my voice small. “I’ll go.”
Evelyn squeezed my shoulder gently. “Good. I’ll have one of the maids prepare some fresh linens. You’ll have privacy, and if you need anything, just ask. You needn’t worry, I am going to be here, and by your side to help teach you. I was a first time mother too, I know how hard it can be if you feel alone.”
I managed a nod, feeling the weight of exhaustion settle over me. “Thank you.”
She lingered for a moment, her gaze searching mine. “Sienna, this isn’t a punishment. You need to understand that. Damon... he’s struggling too. He is trying to accept the fact that he has a daughter and with everything being new to him, it is going to take time.’
A cold shiver ran down my spine at the mention of his name. “I’m not sure I care how he feels.”
