Chapter Ten

For the first week of her captivity, Hannah was utterly miserable. Her injuries were not serious, but they were uncomfortable and the painkillers made her feel ill and all she wanted to do was go home, but of course that was not allowed. Lorcan tried his best to be kind, but he could not give her what she really wanted, and he would not bend on his decision to keep her captive.

“Your ribs are fully healed. The doctor says there’s no reason you shouldn’t get out of bed,” he said, standing at her bedside. “I will take you for a walk on the heath, if you like.”

“No, thank you,” Hannah said, avoiding his gaze. She stared out the window at the gray sky and thought depressing thoughts. She was not going to make Lorcan feel better about the horrible decision he’d made for her. If he didn’t like to see her moping about, well then she’d just mope even harder. Teach him a real lesson.

“Maybe this will cheer you up,” he said, handing her a book.

Hannah ignored it. She didn’t even look at the volume sitting on her midsection. She didn’t care about anything, not about books, not about breathing, not about anything.

“It’s the diary your great-great-aunt wrote during her time here,” he said. “One of them, anyway. I can’t say that what’s in it won’t be disturbing on some level, but I think you deserve to have it.”

His words brought her out of her stupor of self-pity. She snatched the book up from the bed. “Honoraria wrote this?”

“She liked to keep diaries, I suppose,” Lorcan said with a little shrug. “I think this one is the one she wrote when she found herself in a similar position to the one you find yourself in now.”

He retreated to the chair he often sat in with her. She did not know if he was trying to spend time with her, or simply keeping guard. Either way it didn’t make much of a difference. Her curiosity reignited, Hannah opened the book and began to read. Almost immediately, Honoraria’s words started to echo her own experience.
