Sorry it took me a while to update a power cut cut off my internet (Sorry this chapter is a bit short)
"Jules when are you planning to tell father you're no longer engaged?" Ruby asked as they were having breakfast. Julia looked up. "Not today I have work we'll do it this Sunday, agreed?" She replied Ruby nodded. "Could I come to the morgue with you?" Ruby asked. Julia nodded. "You usually sit there with me when you visit." Ruby smiled brightly.
That day Julia had to do a post-mortem, Ruby found it horrifying. "Jules how can you do that?" She asked covering her nose with her hand. "Oh Ruby stop whining it's my job. I'm almost done now anyway." She replied just stitching the victim up. It was a young woman with bright red hair. "Right, finished. I have to write up the report now, you can put some music on if you wish Ruby."
After an hour or so Julia had finished her report. "Ruby wait here I'm going up to the station house, I need to give my report to William." Julia said. Ruby nodded. William saw Julia walk in with her report. "Detective, I have the report." She said standing in the door way. He didn't respond, he was too busy thinking about the fact she wasn't wearing her engagement ring. 'So that's why Darcy came by and said he was leaving.' "Are you alright William?" Julia asked concerned. He shook himself out of it. "Yes I'm quite alright Julia." She smiled "I have the report for you." She said. "What were you thinking about so intensely? You never even heard me come in..." William looked at her. "Oh just something Darcy came by to say... It caught me off guard that's all." All the colour drained from her face "What did he say?" She spoke no louder than a whisper. William looked up to see how pale she went. 'Well that confirms it.' "Oh just that he was moving back to Buffalo and wanted to say goodbye... Are you alright Julia?" William asked he sounded concerned. "Julia?" Julia looked up at him and gave a weak smile. "I was shocked to find you weren't going with him?" He put it has a question not a statement. "Oh yes I broke the engage that is why he is moving back to Buffalo..." She said weakly William looked at her more shocked then concerned now. "Why Julia?" Julia looked at him then the floor she repeated this several times before she spoke. "I broke the engagement because... My heart already belonged to someone else, it always had..." She trailed off when he saw the emotion on his face... He looked as pale as she had when he mentioned Darcy... "William? Are you alright?" He still didn't reply. She walked over to him, she tapped his arm. "William..?" He jumped not realising she had walked over. "Are you alright William you look pale?" She stepped back she met his eyes. "Sorry my mind was elsewhere." He said he still sounded a bit quiet. "What were you saying?" "Er I'll make sure to come back at a better time I almost forgot about Ruby, she is at the morgue waiting for me to go back." She said as William looked behind her. She looked at him confused and turned around to find Ruby outside his office talking to George. "That's sweet..." Julia murmured under her breathe. She turned back to William. "I'll talk to you later okay?" William nodded, Julia left his office and walked other to Ruby. "Took your time!" Ruby said. "Come on." Back in William's office William brought a hand to his forehead feeling like an idiot. 'What just happened..?' In the morgue Ruby looked at Julia with questionable eyes. "What?" Julia asked Ruby shrugged. "What took you so long?!" Ruby sounded excited more than annoyed. Julia looked at her and laughed. "We were just talking..." Julia said. "Did you tell him?" Ruby asked Julia couldn't think about what she meant. "What do you mean?" She asked and Ruby gave her the blankest expression she ever had. "How you really feel about him Jules!" Ruby said. "Oh kind of... I told him I broke the engagement because my heart belonged to someone else. Come time to go home.
When they got home they have their tea. At 7 o'clock there was a knock at the door. Julia answered it to be greeted by her father. He looked angry.
