Three hours later, after spending time mapping out their plan for Pennington Hall, they left to find Comfry’s diary. Emma practically hugged Remy’s back as they skirted along the darkened corridor. If they moved as one, they’d be less likely to get caught. It was something they’d mastered together in their brief time in Paris. Funny how things came right back without even having to discuss them. They were a good team; she knew that, despite the emotional aspect of things.

If she were completely honest with herself, she’d acknowledge the fact that she wouldn’t want to be working on this assignment with anyone else. She trusted Remy, and this was likely the most important assignment of her career. She’d seen her mark killed, and his family, people she’d grown to care for, had been sleeping in the house. Not only that, but the one man who had been a constant in her life had been murdered. She didn’t know if they were connected, but she felt certain they probably were.

She’d be damned if she didn’t do everything she could to find Comfry’s killer. And she knew Remy would as well. There was assurance in that. Hopefully, she wouldn’t get her heart broken in the process, but she would manage that if and when it happened. Until then, she had to stay sharp.

They made their way out the back door of the kitchen and onto the grounds. Remy had earlier established a deal with the grooms and had a horse waiting for them. They’d ride quietly to Pennington Hall, and hopefully, tonight they’d find the journal and all of this would end.

The horse was precisely where the groom said he’d be, tied to a birch tree, blissfully munching on grass. She looked up at them shrewdly, chewing, then released a soft neigh and stomped her feet. Remy untied her and pulled himself into the saddle. He then helped Emma up onto the back behind him. Emma held on to his back, and they were off. She tried to ignore the play of his muscles as they rode. The wind swirled around them, chilling her arms and making her wish she’d worn a cloak, but having something that heavy and loose could become a hazard in these situations. So she wore only a simple, wool dress of dark, smoky gray.

Remy didn’t speak. He steered their mare in the right direction and kept her from going too deep in the forested woods to their right. It wouldn’t be long and they’d reach Pennington Hall. Already the land was beginning to clear and give way to gentle, rolling hills.

The entrance to Pennington Hall’s property was guarded by a large iron gate, but it was already opened, so they rode through. Remy kept them close to the tree line to keep as shielded from view as possible. The Comfry family was still in London making arrangements for the funeral, but that didn’t mean the servants weren’t milling about getting things prepared, though that seemed unlikely in light of the late hour.
