Just after five in the afternoon, Mason woke at the sound of a knock on the door and became aware of Danyl dressing quickly and leaving. It took her a moment to focus; she desperately wanted to stay in bed, but her body had other ideas. Along with the aches and bruises that were gently humming beneath the surface of her skin, she was hungry. Her stomach let out a determined growl as if to make its complaint fully known. She peeled back the covers and gently swung her legs over the side of the bed. Deciding that she could make it the rest of the way, she pulled on a pair of leggings and grabbed a shirt from Danyl’s wardrobe.

She entered the sitting room just as Danyl was closing the door on whoever had just been to see him. He looked about and, without his having to say anything, the two guards quickly slipped out of the room.

She frowned; it wasn’t unusual for them to be either alone or with the men in the same room, but there was something heavy in the air. Something she couldn’t quite understand.

‘You should sit down,’ Danyl said.

She looked at him, at the hundreds of emotions he was trying to hide. Causing a chain reaction beneath the surface of her own skin.

‘I think I’ll stand,’ she replied. She didn’t know what was coming, but she was sure that it was better to meet it on two feet.

‘The test results came back.’

‘Oh. That was...quick.’

‘I may have put some pressure on the tests being done as soon as possible.’

‘Why? They’re only going to come back clean. I’ve never taken drugs in my life,’ Mason stated, still unsure as to what Danyl was hiding.

‘Yes, your test results came back negative for any drugs in your system, and the Racing Commission are dropping any and all lines in that particular investigation.’

‘But what about Harry? Are they dropping that?’

‘I don’t know. But that’s...there’s...’

‘What?’ Mason asked, shaking her head against the strange way he was behaving. She could see it. There was something else. Something that suddenly hooked impossible weights over the butterfly wings that had leapt into her stomach at the negative test results. ‘What is it, Danyl?’

‘The tests also showed that you’re pregnant.’
