#LesFicFri "FOOT"
Polly washed her then helped her dry before she went to see Josephine in Polly’s bedroom. Meanwhile Polly, under Vionnet’s insistence, emptied the bath and used fresh water for herself, with Ursula assisting.
Veronica was surprised to see her, she must have been so deep in her own thoughts she had not even noticed the girl arrive.
From now on, at least for today, Polly was no longer a maid, she was just Veronica’s bridesmaid—best friend and one true love.
Josephine jabbered while she trimmed Veronica’s nails, but Veronica barely listened. It was not that she was thinking about anything in particular, just that she was in an almost dreamlike state as she was tended on—literally hand and foot.
Then her nails were painted purple, and polished.
“They have to look their best,” said Josephine.
From THE TASTE OF VERONICA by Stephanie Bull (a pen-name of Steve Turnbull), from Book 2 of VERONICA'S LIFE
