"The most important thing is, what if he gets upset and deducts my salary?"
Scarlett Glenn laughed, "The boss is me, he's just my errand boy, I won't deduct your salary—let's see if he dares to."
Matilda Jenkins chuckled and saw Scarlett Glenn out the door.
Before leaving, Scarlett Glenn hesitated and then said, "Milly, some things happen beyond our control, just like you said, to live well is to honor him."
Matilda nodded, "I know, I understand..."
She wanted to live in the way Nathaniel York had hoped to see her—cheerful, positive, forever vibrant, forever... happy.
Scarlett Glenn opened her arms and hugged Matilda Jenkins, "I'm always here for you."
Matilda buried her face in Scarlett Glenn's shoulder.
After hugging for a while, she let go of Scarlett Glenn, urging her to leave before it got dark and unsafe.
