Unthinkable
“Or rather, everyone but Miranda was talking. Miranda sat down on the edge of a chair and held her elbows.
Her gaze flicked from face to face, but Fenella felt sure she was the one Miranda was watching most.
She tried to ignore her, tried to listen to the others, tried to act as if all she was thinking about was the new apartment, and, perhaps, her past with Padraig.
She felt choked by the new information about the entwined curses. It was all Fenella could do to get out words of one syllable. Sh...e stole surreptitious glances at Lucy. She wondered how long it would take Padraig to break her.
Perhaps not long at all. Lucy had spent her life surrounded by love; all her strength was rooted in that. Even the queen had said so. If she was torn from her family—if all she had left was Fenella, Fenella who would have personally betrayed her—what would happen?
It would be like Bronagh, all over again.
Dawn was suddenly at Lucy’s knee, asking for attention.
Fenella jerked her gaze away, to her lap, so she would not have to see the child.MoreLess
