Ella & Molly
Ella thought it was rather sweet that Molly immediately thought of the people she wanted to have at a Christmas celebration as opposed to sweets or foods or decorations. "I do not think even Saint Nicholas could bring people here for Christmas," she replied gently. Because of course Ella believed in Santa.
"Your secret is safe with me, my lady," she promised with the utmost sincerity. She would never betray Molly's confidence. "I can certainly promise that I will extend the invitation to everyone gathered here today." Ella had already planned on doing that, but she hoped it would reassure the younger woman.
