After spending half the morning wrangling a skull-cracking headache from irresponsibly overindulging in port, Caroline slowly, slowly sat into the creaking leather chair before her brother’s desk. She tried not to gurgle up vomit.

She was never drinking again.

She miserably set Ronan’s coin onto the smooth surface of her brother’s desk. Tears blinded her. She had once believed that by holding onto Ronan’s coin, she was holding on to not only him but his dreams. When in fact, neither had ever been hers to hold.

Using the tips of her trembling fingers, she set the sovereign up onto its rounded edge and spun it with a hard, quick flick. She watched as the golden coin whirled and whirled back and forth, side to side, across the polished surface of the desk. It eventually slowed, tilted and rattled against the surface until it flattened and stopped, landing perfectly beside a large stack of unopened and unorganized invitations.

Invitations her brother hoped would find her a husband. Invitations he always had her gather so they could go through them together. She dragged them over and tidied the unorganized stack, setting them on top of each other. She paused, seeing an unopened letter from Lord Gifford addressed to her brother among the pile she had rearranged.

Her eyes widened. Why was Lord Gifford writing to her brother?

She glanced toward the open doorway. Despite knowing it was wrong, she grabbed up the correspondence. Turning it over, she frantically broke the wax seal on it and unfolded it.
