Chapter 5 - Alonzo Comforts Trembling Maisie Amidst The Ballroom Chaos
Alonzo turned away from the collapsing woman and knelt down on the cold marble floor beside little Maisie.
The six-year-old was still clutching her bruised cheek, tears shining brightly in her wide, frightened blue eyes.
“You’re safe now, sweetheart. Nobody is ever going to hurt you in this house again,” Alonzo whispered tenderly.
He lifted Maisie gently into his arms, resting her small head against his broad, protective shoulder.
Flora stepped forward, gently wrapping a warm silk shawl around the little girl to help stop her trembling.
“You’re a very brave girl, Maisie,” Flora murmured, smiling softly through her own unshed tears of relief.
