Chapter 94

Max looked up at Victoria with eager anticipation shining in his eyes.

Marcus reached over and ruffled Max's hair. "Miss Fannie's really busy today. How about your uncle takes you instead?"

Truth was, Victoria didn't have much on her plate-it was the weekend, after all. Unless Gwyneth suddenly called, she was free.

"I'm not busy these days," she said, glancing at Max with a gentle smile. "I'll come with you."

She felt a pang of sympathy for the boy—no parents, and so alone. She was happy to keep him company.

Spending time with Max always reminded her of Gwyneth. Right now, Gwyneth was probably off on some adventure with McNeil and Violet.
