Luellen rubbed her neck. "Uhm… I might just be exhausted from everything. Shopping with Mr Leander took years off my life with those prices. Shirley also pulled a stunt I couldn't bring up again. Also…"
The maiden's body tensed up. How should she make light of what almost happened between her and Leander? Should Luellen just stop talking? No, she already said it.
"Also what?" Summer came back with a rag. Luellen almost snatched it and wiped her floor. "Lue? Oh, no…"
Summer held Luellen's shoulders and made the maiden look up at her. She gripped Luellen's shoulders tighter. "Please tell me no one dared to… Did Mr Leander's brother try something with you? That white dress was too tempting. Did someone walk in on you changing? Tell me… I will kill him!"
A laugh. Luellen responded with a mocking laugh, but it sounded like it was for the two of them. The maiden held her friend's wrists. "Sue, no… it's not… I just don't understand why things are advancing this way. Do you know?"
