Blue Blood - Eliza Wards (the reader ebook txt) 📗

"Why should we?" I whisper. 

She quickly dances around the furniture and gathers me into her arms. 

"My little Bee, we have to be tough because this world is tough." She kisses my forehead, forgetting that I am 19 and not a child anymore. "Be kind to the people who deserve it and until then be tough to protect yourself." She smiles and then after ruffling my hair she goes back to work. 

I grab the gentleman's jacket and quickly get to work, wanting to get this order out of the way. 

I make sure all of my stitches are perfect. I dust the jacket off and smile at my handiwork. He will look good this evening. Whether that will impress his boss or not is a different matter. I remind myself to finish Mrs Weller's outfit before I move onto the blanket for Maddie. 

Give me the Maddie's of the world rather than that gentleman, I think to myself as I get to work.
