    Summary

    “I’m sorry that I didn’t want abandonment to be the first thing that John’s son knew about you,” Francesca says irritably.

    “Is it abandonment if I didn’t even know that John had a son?” Michaela wonders, draining half her wine in one go. Francesca has never been good at reading Michaela, but she doesn’t have to be to see that there is a decade's worth of deep-seated resentment simmering low. And she was never one to mince words, so her next accusation is entrenched in bitterness. “I can’t believe you never told me about him.”

    Francesca's nose twitches. “Well, maybe you shouldn’t have left me before I had a chance to.”

    Summary

    Francesca has a hunch, silence is not an option when Michaela Stirling is around. "Have you seen Miss Stirling tonight? Has she gone to bed already?"

    "Did Miss Stirling not inform you?" The maid wondered.

    "Of what?" She mumbles.

    "She has packed her belongings and left." For a moment, the world stills. The candlelight, the soft rustle of the maid’s apron—everything suspends. Francesca cannot move. She cannot think. She can only feel the now familiar, suffocating sense of loss settle over her again. Michael too, must think something is broken in her.

    On the far edge of the ton, Michaela sits rigidly in her carriage, watching the night sky blur past the window. She wonders whether John is there watching over her. Grieving is certainly draining, but Michaela cannot help but be consumed by guilt. Guilt for leaving Francesca alone despite her promise to stay in Mayfair. But deeper still, guilt for the quiet flutter she felt when Francesca’s hand touched hers in the parlor. If fleeing to the farthest corner of the earth is what it takes to silence her own wicked mind, then she will flee. Even if it means breaking her promise.

    Summary

    Her head jerked up, eyes narrowing, only to be met with a pair of the most startling sea green eyes she’d ever seen. The nose between them looked like it had been carved from marble, the lips beneath that were perfectly shaped, full. He was tanned, topped with a mop of wavy black hair, and he looked like a Greek god on earth; Annabeth would know. She was the resident expert on Greek gods. It only took a second for these thoughts to cross her mind before she realized he’d said something to her with a smile and she blinked, “What?”
