Chapter 37
A/N: Second chapter of this week, very short, but I felt it was it's own scene and moment.
Episode 7
He had delivered the letter to his lordship and given the news of Thomas' imminent departure before returning to her side to supervise the party.
"Please would you stop please," His Lordship called waving his hat in the air.
"My lords, ladies and gentlemen. Can I ask for silence? Because I very much regret to announce that we are at war with Germany."
The assembled party gasped, including Mrs Hughes, who in her surprise had taken a step backward, closer to him. Or maybe he had stepped closer to her. Neither of them knew, what they did know was that they would need each other more in the approaching times than ever before.
She was in shock, she turned her head towards him and saw confusion mar his face as his gaze fell to the ground then found hers.
They were at war.
A/N: And with that we have finished season 1! Look forward to season 2 next week
