Wendy stood still too stunned to respond at first
He really did think so little of her
She was furious beyond words

Freddy laughed softly Mrs Wendy Mrs Glinda hasn td one any knitting for years Not even Mr Stanley has an item of clothing Mrs Glinda has made with her own hands
Glinda playfully scolded him Stanley has so many people around him He won t get cold But Wendy is different She s always by herself
Wendy had grownup taking care of herself
Something in Wendy s heart shifted softening as though her most vulnerable place had been gently touched She reached out wrapping her arms around Glinda
Her eyes became misty a layer of pink ness covering her fair cheeks She buried her face in Glinda swarm shoulder and clung to her for a moment reluctant to let go Grandma thankyou
She really wanted to thank Glinda
She wanted to thank Glinda for the warmth understanding and care she had given her
She was grateful to Glinda for welcoming her into the Hawk family
The Hawk family estate was the warmest places he had ever known It was her safe haven her home
But it would never truly belong to her
She couldn t keep it no matter how she tried
