Elspeth’s death would not be the only tragedy to occur.

She needed to have faith that William would rescue her mother in time, but Florence’s faith had been shaken so badly already, she was not sure it existed any longer.

Only regret.

Only death.

And there was nothing Florence could do to change that cursed reality.
