“It’s settled.” Elena bounced into the Blue Room.

“Fuck.” My hands fumbled with the vase I was dusting, and I nearly dropped it. I’d been thinking about everything Dorien said to me at the poison garden – as if it were possible to think about anything else since I’d run away from him that night. I couldn’t reconcile the Dorien I knew with this brutal man possessed by violence. I will never stop loving you or fighting for you. All my life I’d wished for love like that – feral, haunting, beautiful. But could I give myself over to Dorien’s bloodstained promises? And what about Titus and Ivan? Because I loved them too. I loved three Broken Muses, and I needed to have my head examined. I was such a tangle of wild thoughts I hadn’t even heard Elena enter the room. “What’s settled?”

“We will spend Christmas in Europe.” Elena flopped down on the chaise, oblivious to the fact I was having a mild cardiac arrest. “Master Radcliffe is going to accompany us, but I’m sure we’ll find ways to get up to mischief.”

“How did you swing that? I thought we were all on Madame Usher’s naughty list?”

“I just flitted my eyelashes at him, like this.” She demonstrated some next-level eyelash flitting. “And he is putrid in my hands, as you say.”

“Putty. It’s putty in your hands.”

Elena waved elegant fingers in the air. “I do not care. We are going – Ivan and I. We will visit our mother for the first time in five years. You will come, of course.”

“I can’t, Elena. My mom’s in the hospital. They say she might wake up any day now. I can’t just race off to Europe. I have to be here for her.”

Elena’s face fell. “But we’re all going away for Christmas. Which means it will just be you and Madame alone in this house.”

I swallowed. That sounded like my worst nightmare. “I’m sure I can manage.”
