Chapter 1508

James' mother-in-law has a curfew at her house-anyone not home by ten o'clock gets a talking-to. James said this matter-of-factly.

Mirabella's cheeks twitched slightly.

Emily had said this young lady seemed so well-behaved. "Well then, Mira, come over to Marian's place whenever you have time."
