“There is a visitor for you, milady.”

“Oh, really?” Lily’s eyebrows shot up as she paused at the bottom of the stairs. “I don’t know who could possibly—”

The door to the corridor swung open with vigour. “My girl! My one and only daughter. How good it is to see you.” Her father pushed past Miles as though he wasn’t there. “You look well. I trust you’re well?”

Of course. Who else would think to call on her these days but him? And in such high spirits, too. Did that mean that whatever ears were always listening—perchance were being paid to listen, even—had relayed the change in their circumstances? That the invisible tide of whispers was turning behind the scenes?

Lily’s stomach twisted. As did her lips. If this was an accomplishment, she didn’t feel it. She only felt… used. And still, it would be rude to make him—she couldn’t possibly—

Never mind. Of course she damn well could. She would.

“Miles,” she said coolly. “I don’t believe I’d made plans to receive visitors today. There must be some mistake. Please see this gentleman here out.”

And, pivoting on her heel, she climbed back up the stairs.
