“What are you thinking about, Miss?” Sofie whispered, tugging at her governess’s arm as if to share a secret.
“I was simply listening to the sound of the rain,” Chloe replied.
“I wish it wouldn’t rain.”
“Why is that?”
“Because when you listen to the rain, you always look as if you’re about to cry.”
Chloe mustered a smile, noting that Sofie had grown more perceptive compared to the previous year. “Sometimes, Sofie, people cry when they’re overwhelmed with happiness.”
“Really?”
“Do you remember how you sobbed on your last birthday when you first met Robin?”
Sofie nodded in understanding, recalling the day when Stella had presented her with a puppy, causing her to weep with joy.
