After Peter had made his leave, Jocelyn had began to unpack her belongings. As she was putting them into the dresser, she couldn't quite understand what had just taken place. Being shunned after her betrothed calls off the engagement, and then finding refuge in the manor of the mysterious Samuel Cassidy wasn't exactly what she had in mind for today. While it was a relief to be out of the cold, and now sure of where she could rest her head at night, she didn't quite understand why Samuel chose to help her. Why didn't he just send her away? She shook her head, tossing that question from her mind. She knew Master Cassidy to be a nice man, not a cruel one.<br/><br/>Not long after she unpacked, she set her basket on top of the dresser, and crawled into the bed as to warm up quicker. As she rested, the magnitude of what had occurred began sinking in. The overwhelming amount of emotions pressed onto her chest as if she was being smothered. Tears began streaming down her face as she realized that she might not get to see her sister again, or her mother. She wasn't known for breaking down and crying. She felt she was weak for crying, yet she couldn't cease once the tears started.<br/><br/>Throughout the day, she remained in her room, and had even shut the door. Even Hunter had started worrying for his master. He would paw at the door and whimper as he heard her sobs. When it was clear that she wasn't opening the door, he retreated to wherever Samuel was and rested beside him. Every so often, he would let out a whimper and look in the direction of where Jocelyn's room was located.<br/><br/>A few days after she was welcomed into the Cassidy manor, Jocelyn had quickly picked up on her duties and what Samuel had preferred. It was also a great bonding experience for her and Margareth, who she now felt comfortable with enough to call Maggie. She also became acquainted with the rest of the staff who worked there also. She made sure that Maggie didn't do much heavy work or anything strenuous.<br/><br/>She was now running errands to find ingredients for the dinner, that was to be prepped for tonight's dinner. It wasn't long before she noticed a rather familiar face. It was her ex-fiancé and soon to be brother-in-law, Edgar. She hadn't seen him for a couple of days, but she was more concerned for Evelyn. He seemed shocked that she was in maid's clothing.<br/><br/>"I have started to work for Lord Samuel Cassidy as a maid in his manor," she explained simply, "He is providing me with food, clothing, shelter, work, and even some wages. Though, enough about me, how is Evelyn? I pray she is faring well."
