Sara's heart ached in her chest as Will slid the sheets around her near-naked skin. She closed her eyes and listened to the sound of his breathing, fighting her thoughts and fears. "Will?"

William swallowed quietly and turned his head downwards slightly, as to look at her, her eye's were raw and hurt and he felt a slight ache in his chest.

"Yes?" He asked softly, running a hand through her hair, tucking it behind her ear.

As Sara looked at him, she wanted nothing more than to lose herself in him. She shivered as his fingers combed through her hair. She nestled her lips firmly against his and sighed. "If I close my eyes, will you fight the bad dreams for me?"

William frowned at Sara's fear of her dreams, because no he could not logically fight them away for her, but by god he could wish and try.

"I can try" he said quietly
"I can definitely try" he repeated truthfully, kissing her lightly on the cheek.

Sara feels the tension in her chest deflate. She curls up against him. She closes her eyes and slips into the embrace of sleep. "I love you, Will." And with that, she relaxes, safe at last.

William quietly closed his eyes. Worrying what would happen to him now that the duchess was deceased. Would his services be terminated?

He hoped if the estate got left to whoever, that his services would still be needed and he could stay.

Nolan, keeping the incredibly believable ruse that he was absolutely bewildered (which might have been true), nods. "O-of course…" He stuttered, having Alice lead the way. "Oh god…"

"They might think you had something to do with it. We need to go, though. They already suspect me." Alice says.

She grabs ahold of Nolan, quickly grabbing Neo and leaving the castle.

Nolan complied, wincing at the feel of her grip as he quickened his pace. "Damn it… Damn it all…"

"Yeah, I know." Alice chuckles.

"Anyways, we need to find somewhere to hide for now." she adds.

Nolan nodded in subtle agreement, taking his arm away from Alice's as he rubbed the spot tenderly. "But where will we go? If we hide, then they'll know we're behind it. Maybe it would be wise to stay in the manor?"

Alice thinks for a moment, then laughs. "Genius!"

Nolan rolled his eyes, sighing as he ran a hand through his hair. "Ay ay ay…. Think things through, you twit."

Alice glares at him. "What did you just call me?"

Nolan smirked, holding his hands in the air. "Nothing, nothing! Don't you go after me now, your highness."

Alice takes a step forward. "'Your Highness', am I?"

Nolan rolled his eyes. "LIsten, honey, I'm just trying to get you to fucking get your shit together. Now stop making excuses and lets go." He asserted, already striding back to the manor

Alice looks like she's ready to take a swing at Nolan, but just barely stops herself. "You know, I thought this would help a little. Get rid of the Duchess, postpone the marriage."
