A FEW DAYS AFTER THE BEATING, Stephen had healed enough to sit by the fire and read or, if he could find a willing partner, play cards. I looked in on him before heading off to meet Will. Our get-together had been postponed until today, Tuesday, because of the sheriff’s raid. I knew he was expecting me because he mentioned it last night after dinner.

Stephen held an open book in his lap, but his gaze was focused somewhere off in the distance. “Olivia,” he said, when my presence finally registered.

“I can’t stay. I just wanted to check on you.”

“Ah. You tempt me with your company only to disappoint me. Who has claim upon you?”

I gave him my best woman-of-mystery look. “This morning is my meeting with Will. I mustn’t keep him waiting.”

“Hmph. Off you go, then.”

“See you at lunch.”

His eyes held a bewildered look, and I knew he was dying to find out what I had up my sleeve. I waved and hurried away.

“Fare thee well,” he muttered under his breath. I smiled to myself.
