Summary
Sneaking out, for Gideon, wasn’t as easy as it had been when she was younger. Sneaking out to the gardens was only marginally more challenging than sneaking past her godparents, growing up. By the time the agreed upon gazebo was in sight, it was honestly longer past dark then she had planned. And, much to her growing despair, it looked as though she had either already missed her chance, or Harrowhark had decided not to see it through.
Which, really, just kind of figured.
She was a moment from giving up, dejected, and making her way back to her suites when the shadows of the gazebo shifted – and Harrow stepped into one of the few shafts of light, still almost invisible in her perpetual black sweater and skirt. Which, ok, Gideon could admit did it for her. As much as the contessa had initially rankled her, now she would be a fool not to realize she was seeing past that. Yes, she held the world at arms length, looking down on everyone – even Gideon – despite being the shortest motherfucker still able to legally buy a lottery ticket. But when those dark eyes held her in place, their full attention on her – well.
She was fucked.
