The maid, Rosa was still standing against the wall her hand clenched in her apron. Victoria asked her "What is your name?" She sounded gentler than she meant to.
Rosa said, "My name is Rosa Delgado." Her voice was shaking.
Victoria said, "Rosa you have been dealing with this on your own for eight months. I need you to keep helping us, a little longer." Rosas chin was trembling,. She nodded.
Peter was already at the doorway listening to something that Victoria could not hear yet. When she joined him she heard it too. Footsteps several people walking with confidence like they owned the place.
