Come On, My Little Liar
EmmaWe soon reached the room, and Georgie helped me to lie down, then left with the promise that he would be back soon.Well, if Mr. Downey came with Henry, he would certainly take care of everything. He wouldn't let anything go wrong. That thought calmed me down a little.After lunch, Mrs. Crawford came with the dressmaker. She assured me that I would have new dresses soon, until then I could manage with the ones they had made for me.I eagerly awaited Henry's arrival, even though I knew he would probably come with the reverend, but when we finished dinner and he didn't show up, I began to understand that he wasn't coming. I kept the family company in the living room after dinner. Mr. Crawford asked Georgie to play the piano while I pretended to read a book. "Ms. Ferguson "Hill surprised me by approaching me with a note on a tray "This arrived for you.I accepted it, feeling everyone's eyes on me as I unfolded it."Ms. FergusonI'm sorry I didn't keep my promise to visit you toda

come on, my little custom
Emma"I don't want to be alone here," I sighed as I walked to the door. "Georgie is nice, but she doesn't understand me.""I promise to be more present, Miss Ferguson. I'm sorry for my absence," he assured, opening the door.I followed him out of the room, feeling Georgie's gaze immediately assessing us."Can we go?" she questioned, alternating her gaze between the two of us."Let's go," he led us to the door.The church wasn't far, so we walked there peacefully. Our small group attracted attention as we walked. Upon arriving, Georgie located her family, sitting with them. Henry guided me to a bench in front, where the reverend's wife was seated.I felt all eyes on me as we settled, George soon taking his place beside me, facing the other with a serious expression."I hope you're well, Miss Ferguson," he smiled friendly at me."I am, thank you, Mr. Thorpe," I frowned, strange by the interaction of the two friends."Dashwood, I believe this wasn't what we agreed upon," he whispered as

Come on, my Little discovery
HenryTwo weeks had passed since I first took Emma to church, and by mutual agreement, George and I began attending Dyrham Park regularly. The Burkharts were hosting a ball in a few days, and Emma needed to prepare for the event. George suggested that it would be appropriate to host small gatherings at our homes so that we could train her properly.My family would be returning soon, and Kitty was eager to meet Emma, but Aunt Margaret convinced her to wait for the planned return date, in ten days.Emma still hadn't seen Casterly Park, and I continually wondered what she would think of the place. I found myself growing closer to the young gypsy; when I wasn't at Dyrham Park, I would send her notes.I loved every part of my days with Emma. She was fun, intelligent, and was gradually getting used to our lifestyle. Despite still noticing that pain deep in her eyes, I saw a significant improvement in the young woman.I wanted to protect her, take care of her every moment, be by her side. As

Come on, my little Friendship
Henry"Mr. Dashwood, wait a moment," she rushed, blocking my way out. "Did she really go through all of that?""As I said, we had to hide her in our carriage to prevent the men from finding her. Can you imagine what they would do to her? Besides killing her?""My God," she blinked, letting a few tears escape. "Why would they do that? I need to talk to her.""No, I'll talk to her first," I stopped her from advancing."I won't say anything to anyone," Georgiana assured. "I'll help her however I can.""Thank you," I sighed. I knew once she understood the situation, she would help her friend. "Can you take me to her?"She silently led me through some corridors until we approached a closed door. She knocked, waiting for a response that didn't come."Emma, open the door, we need to talk about this," she requested.Did Emma tell her? How did she find out?"Emma, come on..."I approached, taking control of the situation."Emma, open the door," I asked. "I'm here now."For a moment, I thought

Come on, my little Catch
Emma" What did you think of yesterday's dinner? " Georgie asked as we were in the garden, enjoying the pleasant early October weather for some sketching.The temperature would start dropping soon, and the Crawfords had already arranged some winter dresses for me.The ball was in three days, making me increasingly anxious. It had been a month since I met Henry, and I felt more and more comfortable in this situation. Since Georgie revealed my issue with balls, Mrs. Cunningham always managed to arrange some gathering to take us to." It was pleasant; I met some new people " I shrugged, trying to focus on the bird I was struggling to draw." It was a pity Mr. Dashwood had another commitment " She commented, focusing on her own drawing." Yes, it was... " I deflected as I always did when she mentioned him." But I bet he'll show up for dinner tonight " She insisted. " It's the second day we haven't heard from him. I mean, we Crawfords, because I'm sure I saw Hill's nephew handi

come on, my little conflict
" Hello... We... we were just... " I tried to come up with an excuse." Miss Ferguson, go pack your bags " Henry requested with a serious expression.Is he really going to send me away?" What? Why? " Georgie widened her eyes." Where am I going? " I stammered." Georgiana, come with me " Mrs. Crawford requested." Mother..." Georgiana, I insist " She gave her daughter a significant look.I watched the two of them walk away before turning to Henry once again, who still had a serious look." Emma..." I got it, I'll pack my bags " I sighed defeatedly " I'll be back soon." I'll wait for you here " He assured.I headed to my room, starting to pack everything I had there. What was happening? Where am I going? Is Henry upset with me?These questions circled my mind as I tried to pack everything as quickly as possible. A knock on the door interrupted me; I opened it, finding Hill standing there." Mr. Dashwood asked you to pack only the essentials to leave and let me take care of the rest

come on, my little protected one
HenryI left Emma's room feeling disoriented, how could I lose control like that? I tried in vain to forget that kiss, but it was impossible to ignore the feeling of having her in my arms. I was using all the restraint I had left not to return to that room and claim her for myself.I decided to leave the house while I still had some resolve to distance myself from Emma. I walked through the garden for a while, thinking about everything that had been happening in my life since I saw her dancing in that town.I hadn't realized the extent of my feelings until our argument in the carriage; I couldn't even consider the possibility of her being away from me. But what could I do about it?She is under my protection, lives in my house; I am responsible for her and will mold her into an exemplary woman. No one would ever suspect her past, and then I could...I could what?I took a deep breath, resuming my way home. I am exaggerating. As I told George, I admire Emma, that's all. I also desire h

Come on, My little mistrust
HenryI went to the library, occupying myself with answering some business letters for the rest of the afternoon. According to my mother's letter, she would arrive before dinner. As the hours passed, my mother started taking longer than I expected. I tried to distract myself by reading a book, but worry began to consume me."Mr. Dashwood," Jerkins entered the room, "Mr. Thorpe is here to see you."George... I completely forgot about him. I had assured him that I would notify him before bringing Emma to Casterly Park. He will probably disapprove of my actions."George," I stood up as soon as he entered the library. "I didn't expect you.""I'm sorry, Dashwood," he smiled, "but I couldn't help but come after meeting Mr. Crawford in town.""You met him?" I sighed, putting the book aside."How is she? I didn't quite understand what happened, but it seems Mrs. Crawford considered some of her behavior improper.""She's fine," I reassured, thinking of Emma. I haven't seen her since our outing

Come On, My Little Inconvenient
EmmaI withdrew immediately from the room, leaving the entire family there. A whirlwind of emotions grew inside me; I felt frustrated with Henry, irritated with Lady Kinghley, and disconcerted by being introduced to his mother and sister in that manner. They didn't understand the reason for Henry's bad mood; George and I were just teasing him.Maybe we're not as close as I thought. For a moment, I thought we were making progress in our relationship after the walk this afternoon, but I guess I was mistaken.I headed towards the stairs, wanting to get as far away from Lady Kinghley as possible. I didn't have the opportunity to interact with the rest of Henry's family, but it was clear that that woman would not make my life easy, and certainly, I couldn't even dream about my origins." She thinks I'm taking advantage of her nephew's goodwill " I murmured to myself as I approached the stairs " as far as I know, it's exactly the opposite that's happening, and..." Are you crazy? " A voice

Come On, My Little jealousy
EmmaI woke up earlier than usual the next day, probably feeling strange in the new place. I went down to breakfast, and the place was completely empty, only the servants were busy with their chores.I returned to the library where my unfinished drawing from the previous night lay under a table there. I picked it up and walked to the garden, deciding to occupy myself for a while.I sat on a bench, observing the landscape around me; this place is stunning. Am I really living here?A memory of my father hit me hard as I tried to sketch the mountains behind Henry's eyes.We were walking through the woods of an unfamiliar village to me; I was just over fifteen, and we spotted a beautiful building nearby. Our custom was always to stay away from houses, but that day my father guided me to the location. I was annoyed because I had just turned down his first attempt at arranging a marriage, and he had called me for a lecture on my responsibilities."Look at that," he said when we got close to
