"Take it easy." Oliver held on tight to Grace as she helped her get out of the car while Amy helped Lucy and the driver take their things out of the car's boot.

"Just take it upstairs please." She told them.

"Woah," Grace exclaimed in excitement, turning around to stare at the big house just as the car drove away. "Mum," She quickly turned to Olivia, grabbing her hand. Olivia looked at her, a tiny smile on her face

"Are we really going to live here? All of us?"

"Uh," Olivia started. She wasn't sure she knew how to answer that

"Yes, we will." Benita said as she walked out of the house with a huge smile on her face. Olivia turned to look at her, Grace too.

"Cool," Grace turned back to Olivia, she was so amazed. "Mum," she grabbed her arm gently "Can I go in? I really want to take a tour, please, please, please." She pouted, giving Olivia the puppy eyes, Olivia scoffed playfully.

"Only if you promise not to run on the stairs."

"I promise," Grace clapped her hands together. "Now can I?"

Olivia pouted, pretending to think for a while before she exhaled.

"Fine."

Grace chuckled and then ran to the door, before she could say anything else. she rushed in.

"Grace, I thought we said no running!" Olivia yelled after her but she was far gone. She slowly turned to Amy and raised her brows.

"What?"

Olivia raised her brows again, Amy rolled her eyes. She knew exactly what Olivia was trying to say, why did it have to be her all the time?

She turned to the door,

"Wait for me Grace!" She yelled at the top of her lungs, rushing to the door too. Olivia heard Benita chuckle softly as they drew their attention back to each other. Olivia exhaled as she watched Benita slowly reach for her hands

The birds were chirping in the air, the smell of the fresh roses from the garden, mixing with it.

"How are you holding up my child?" She asked. Olivia stiffened visibly and faked a smile.

"I don't know Nanny." She pursed her lip. "But I'll be fine."

She had to be.

Benita nodded. She slowly reached for her apron and got out a white envelope from it's pocket.

"I was arranging his things when I came across this." She said as Olivia's gaze narrowed on the envelope.
"It has your name on it so I'm guessing he left it for you." She gave it to Olivia. Olivia's hands shook as she slowly reached for the envelope, glaring at it. She was confused.
