Phryne wasn’t trying to actively be possessive of Dot. It was just something that came to her as second nature. It was easy for Phryne to be possessive over her friend, who was also her maid. It was clear that Dot never seemed to mind the way Phryne could get closer to her in an attempt to keep people from getting too close to her. It was clear that Dot understood what the rich woman wanted from her.
Mine. Phryne may not say it but Dot was a clever girl. She knew what it meant when Phyrne kept the girl behind her whenever she noticed someone getting too flirty with other strangers. However, Dot didn’t mind it, knowing that the woman cared for her and merely wanted her to be comfortable around more people but Phryne also wanted the people around them to know that Dot was hers.
It was easy to merely assume other things but when Phryne pulls Dot into her arms and glared at anyone who was staring at her, that was when they knew the truth. Phryne Fisher was a possessive woman and Dot has already been claimed by her and clearly, it made Dot happy.
