"Lily!" Rose called in shock. However, her presence wasn't the only thing that was shocking. In her hands was a tray, and the contents were a kettle, a cup, and a plate of food—it was clear it was just a single serving.
"What are you doing 'ere?" Rose asked, but she stepped aside to let her in. Lily hasn't brought them meals in a while so for her to do this something must be wrong. Rose felt her heart squeeze.
Lily didn't move; she just stood by the door. Rose didn't know how to interpret this, so she decided to take the tray from her. Surprisingly, Lily let her.
"Where is Edna?" she asked as she held the tray, a little scared to ask the question.
She looked down at the contents. The tray was quite heavy, and she wondered how Edna would easily carry this all the way from the servants' quarters to here.
"She won't be coming," Lily said.
