Chapter 208: Separate ways (2)

The next day, Annalise leaned on a wall watching as others passed by in a hurry to get to what they visited the market for. She was waiting for Thomas in their usual spot so she could find out what happened with the person sent by the palace. 

News wasn't reaching the manor as fast as she liked and since she became Rafael's maid, she had not taken a day off to come to the market to hear what the people were talking about these days. The gossip in the manor was about Rafael, the knights, or the dead men the town guards were looking for.

While she waited, she prepared how she was going to break to Thomas that she would be leaving town with Rafael and his family. Annalise was still deciding if she should tell him that she would not be here. Thomas was going to lose his mind so a part of her really wanted to hide this from him.
