The next afternoon, Marcy held the missive in her hands while she stood in the drawing room. Her feet held her in place. She couldn’t move. All she could do was stare at the missive and reread the thing over and over again.

There was only one sentence in it. It had been addressed to her, but it didn’t include the sender’s information.

It didn’t have to.

She already knew who’d written it. She knew it as soon as she saw the handwriting. Only one person used elaborate loops in her script.

Pandora. Her step-sister.

She hadn’t seen Pandora since she ran away from her father’s estate in the country. That was right before she turned sixteen.

She’d thought she’d left that part of her past behind her. Yes, she had relived the past many times since running away, but she never believed she’d ever come across Pandora again. Pandora had been betrothed to the Duke of Philton. He had planned to live in Denmark. He wasn’t supposed to be in London.

But it’d been six years since she last saw Pandora. It was possible she didn’t marry the duke. It was possible she married someone else. It was possible she didn’t marry anyone at all. Marcy’s father had been wealthy. Pandora wouldn’t have needed a gentleman to provide for her, even after the title and estate transferred to her father’s nephew.

However Pandora had ended up in London, she knew Marcy was here. Perhaps Pandora saw her at the ball. There were so many people there that Marcy hadn’t noticed her. If Pandora saw her before Marcy had a chance to see her, then she could have hidden in the crowd.

Marcy bit her lower lip. Lewis’ clothes stood out since they were so bright. It would be hard to miss him, and she had been on his arm for a good portion of the evening. Maybe Lewis’ attire had given Pandora the advantage Marcy didn’t have.

This didn’t explain how Pandora knew where Marcy lived. Nor did it explain how Pandora knew Marcy had married Lewis. And, most of all, it didn’t explain how Pandora knew Marcy’s secret sin.

But she did know. Because the one sentence Pandora had written let Marcy know her sin hadn’t been a secret to everyone. Marcy swallowed the lump in her throat and read the sentence again.

I know what you did six years ago to the decanter.

Eight words. Eight words that formed one simple sentence. And it told Marcy everything. Pandora knew she’d put poison in her step-mother’s decanter. Marcy had thought she’d gotten rid of the evidence before she could get caught. She’d been careful to make sure no one was in the room with her.

As much as Marcy didn’t want to go over the past, especially not now when she was happy, it crept up around her. It wove around her like a dark lover and insisted it join her, to slip back into her memories one more time. And so, she obeyed and thought back on the worst part of
