Patsy and Delia took their things out of Phyllis’ Morris Minor and said their goodbyes before Phyllis left for Nonnatus House. They decorated their flat with the few items they both owned. They put their clothes away in the flat’s closets. They made sure there was some food in their kitchen.

When everything was taken care of, Patsy and Delia headed to bed. It was their first night alone together without worrying about waking up midwives or being discovered by nuns. They could be as loud as they wanted to be now. Why not christen the flat, in a way?
