== Author's Notes ==

<BLOCKQUOTE>Anecdote time: I wrote this in the winter a couple of years ago. One night from that time always stays with me. It was a Sunday. I’d spent all day working on this story and writing about people being scared. At about 8 o’clock I left the house to go visit my parents. It was December, so it was dark outside and it had been snowing heavily all day. Let me tell you, in the town I was living at the time, you’ll see very little life on the streets if it’s late on a Sunday and the roads are thick with snow. So there I was, all alone, walking down this still, white street, where the only sound was the soft crunching of the snow under my boots. And then, it must have turned 8pm, because I could hear the clock in the church striking the hour, which was weird because I lived really far away from the church. The streets were so empty that night that the sound just carried. It was spooky. I’ll admit it. Just me and the snow and the church bells tolling. And then. I turned the corner and saw a woman in a white coat standing silently at the end of the street. She wasn’t moving, just standing quite still. And I was already tense because of the church bells and the quiet of the snow and the spending all day writing scary stories. And I know that this lady must just have been waiting for a friend to pick her up in their car. But she was so still, and so quiet, and the distant church bells were droning on. Sweet Jesus, my heart was going at 100 miles an hour as I walked past her.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>And that was it. I got to my parents house with no trouble.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>I never did find out who she was.</BLOCKQUOTE>

== Summary ==

<BLOCKQUOTE>When it comes down to it, Arthur is rather privileged. There aren't many in service who'd give up the chance to work as a valet for the heir of the Brinsley family. He gets good meals, a good wage, a crisp set of clothes, and if he plays his cards right, he may even make his way up to butler by the time he's 30: a worthy achievement by all counts. He's well-liked. He's respected. And, God help him, he thinks he might be in love.</BLOCKQUOTE>

Historical fiction set in the 1920s. Written for the prompt: the servants' quarters. The story focuses on the relationship between the young, irresponsible heir of a country estate and his loyal valet.

Themes include master/servant dynamics and unresolved sexual tension (UST).

I’d spent all day working on this story and writing about people being scared. At about 8 o’clock I left the house to go visit my parents. It was December, so it was dark outside and it had been snowing heavily all day. Let me tell you, in the town I was living at the time, you’ll see very little life on the streets if it’s late on a Sunday and the roads are thick with snow. So there I was, all alone, walking down this still, white street, where the only sound was the soft crunching of the snow under my boots. And then, it must have turned 8pm, because I could hear the clock in the church striking the hour, which was weird because I lived really far away from the church. The streets were so empty that night that the sound just carried. It was spooky. I’ll admit it. Just me and the snow and the church bells tolling. And then. I turned the corner and saw a woman in a white coat standing silently at the end of the street. She wasn’t moving, just standing quite still. And I was already tense because of the church bells and the quiet of the snow and the spending all day writing scary stories. And I know that this lady must just have been waiting for a friend to pick her up in their car. But she was so still, and so quiet, and the distant church bells were droning on. Sweet Jesus, my heart was going at 100 miles an hour as I walked past her.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>And that was it. I got to my parents house with no trouble.</BLOCKQUOTE>

<BLOCKQUOTE>I never did find out who she was.</BLOCKQUOTE>

== Summary ==

<BLOCKQUOTE>When it comes down to it, Arthur is rather privileged. There aren't many in service who'd give up the chance to work as a valet for the heir of the Brinsley family. He gets good meals, a good wage, a crisp set of clothes, and if he plays his cards right, he may even make his way up to butler by the time he's 30: a worthy achievement by all counts. He's well-liked. He's respected. And, God help him, he thinks he might be in love.</BLOCKQUOTE>

Historical fiction set in the 1920s. Written for the prompt: the servants' quarters. The story focuses on the relationship between the young, irresponsible heir of a country estate and his loyal valet.

Themes include master/servant dynamics and unresolved sexual tension (UST).
