April silently thought over Mrs. Waverly's words as she sipped her tea. Mrs. Waverly helped herself to a cookie and allowed the silence to continue until April was ready to end it.
"Do you - ever have regrets?"
"Over the necessity? Of course. For doing what had to be done when it was necessary? No."
Taking a deep breath, April relaxed and slowly began to smile.
"Thank you, Mrs. Waverly. Might I trouble you for a little more tea?"
Pleased that the younger woman seemed past her crisis of conscience, Mrs. Waverly smiled back.
"No trouble at all, my dear."
