Caroline woke with a start. She’d been fast asleep and a noise had roused her. She stared into the dark, overwhelmed by the strongest sense that someone was out in the hall.

She glared at the wood, wishing she had magical eyes so she could see who was on the other side. Her first thought was that it had to be Caleb, and she nearly tossed off the covers and rushed over to peek out, but what if it was Mrs. Starling? What if it was Gregory?

It was late and, no doubt, people had been drinking. If it was either of them, they’d be intoxicated and much more disagreeable than normal. She wouldn’t risk an encounter.

Yet she could practically feel the person reaching out, pondering whether to knock. Then, whoever it had been, he tiptoed away, and she was sure it had been Caleb.

He must have needed to talk to her, and the topic must have been vitally important. What might it have been? Marriage perhaps? It seemed to be their unfinished business.

She threw off the blankets and dashed to the door. She fumbled with the key and yanked it open, but the hall was empty, and she wondered if she’d imagined the whole thing. She listened intently, but she couldn’t hear anyone retreating.

She staggered to the bed and nestled under the covers. She focused her mind, sending a frantic message to him, apprising him to come back. He didn’t though, and eventually, she fell into a fitful slumber.

When morning finally arrived, she was grouchy and peevish, and clearly, it would be a very long day.
