Sisse sat on top of Robin’s Acorn laptop, staring at me as I drank a mug of chamomile tea.

“I can’t believe you met Jack,” she sighed. A little hand fluttered to her chest. “Isn’t he dreamy?”

“He’s as cold as ice,” I said incredulously. “Literally.”

I’d traded out my revealing clothes for a pair of black jeans and boots, and a top that tied around my back and left most of my midriff exposed. The wardrobe had seemed to sense my desire for dark clothes, matching the tinge of darkness in my mood.

I never told anyone why I’d left Emain Ablach. Not even the twins, or Ioin. They all just thought I hated the small-town life.

They didn’t know I was such a failure that Pomona had let me leave with a mix of exasperation and relief that I wouldn’t destroy any more of our island—but mostly relief.

Some of the other dryads had whispered their hopes that I wouldn’t return when they thought I couldn’t hear them.

I had no idea why I had spilled that secret to Jack Frost, of all people. I didn’t trust him.

I didn’t even like him.

“He’s gorgeous.” Sisse made it sound like that decided the matter.

“Yeah. And a jerk. There’s plenty of other gorgeous Gentry to ogle if I feel like it.” I studiously avoided looking at Robin as I said it. “He froze me in place, Sisse.”

“You got out,” she said reasonably, and under her breath added, “I wouldn’t have tried to escape.”

Robin ignored us completely, clicking through the files the chip had transferred over to his laptop. The program he was running analyzed every message Calder had sent on the burner phone that operated off a non-approved network.

“Anything good?” I asked, desperate to stop hearing about Jack. Yeah, so he was beautiful, like a prince made of ice. And I wasn’t entirely sure he actually meant me harm.

But if he was Robin’s counterpart, getting friendly with him might be opening the door to betraying my boss, even if it was unknowingly.

“Yes,” Robin finally said, clicking a few more times. “Calder and Prince Brightkin have plans to meet in Myrage again next weekend, and there’s a veiled reference to the Undercity. However, there’s nothing concrete on where the girls are kept, and I’m curious how Calder gets in and out of Myrage without being seen.”

“We need better insider information.” I tapped my nails against the mug. “We need to know exactly what Calder knows. Even on a burner phone, he’s not going to come right out and state his plans or hiding places.”

Robin nodded, running a hand through his dark hair. “Right. That’s why we’re going to kidnap him, and I’ll take his place in glamour at their next meeting.”

I raised an eyebrow. “Boss, I like the way you think.”
