Re: Deluxe Floor: 12:01 AM
The Duchess narrowed her eyes when the kettle shattered. Maybe the Hatter needed to be disciplined himself? But then the ice queen before her not only dismissed the rudeness of her interruption, but insinuated the child was hers!
She held the baby closer to her chest, tipping her sharp chin up. "I beg your pardon," she said. "I don't know what you're talking about." Something nagged at her that she was right--that the child wasn't hers, that it could be anyone's. She ignored it. She'd claimed the child, so it had to be hers. Even the Hatter seemed to agree...in his way.
