Welp my dudes, I’ve fallen hard for this little ship, and I’m not looking back.In fact, I’ve fallen so hard that I literally wrote is ficlet in half a day which I never do. Y’all know me. I’m the slowest writer ever. A million S’mores Frappucinos to my lovely beta, @modmerseygirl for taking the time out of her evening to read this over for me. Hope you guys enjoy!
Blue eyes followed her. Eyes so blue they looked like they’d been chipped from a wall of Arctic ice. They watched her. Took in every move she made. Noticed every nervous tick and fidget.
Marta wasn’t used to being noticed.
Prior to Harlan’s death, no one at Thrombey Manor but the old writer ever paid attention to her. No one, unless there was a problem. Until something came along that ruffled their cocoon of comfort and privilege. Something that interrupted their bickering. Something like a jagged coughing spell from Harlan or now, an odd Southern detective. But until then they didn’t notice her. Oh, they would say hello from time to time or distractedly ask how she and her family were doing, but all the while their eyes were locked on their phones or glass of alcohol. They never really saw her. Only Harlan Thrombey… Harlan, who out of all of the wealthy clients she’d cared for in the past, actually treated her not only like a human being, but as an equal and a friend. Harlan was the exception. Otherwise she might as well have been a table. Useful when needed, but otherwise ignored.
