Chapter 52

Edward nodded into the blonde woman. "You will always be my Mama," He whispered softly in her ear pushing the queen further into a state of tears.

The whole evening was filled with a heavy atmosphere, no-one baring to mutter a single word other than Edward, only asking for simple requests, like a hug, from Jane, each time breaking Catherine's heart into double the number of shards.

By around eleven, most of the women had either gone to bed or fallen asleep on the sofa and the only ones remaining awake we're Catherine, Jane and Edward.

"Mummy, I'm tired, I'm going to bed , " Edward smiled, getting up off the sofa, not expecting Jane to want to go with him. He was stopped in his tracks by Jane asking,

"Do you want me to come with you love?" She asked ever so sweetly, her voice as pure as running water.

"Yes - I mean if that's okay, " Edward asked nervously.

"Of course baby, " Jane smiled, offering her hand out to the boy. She let him lead the way. She didn't know who's room was who's and the only place in the house she could remember how to get to, was her own. The same very room she died in. For the second time.

She died in her room at Hampton, the first time. She died in her room in Manchester the second time.

Her room was a death trap.
