Chapter 10
She was dreaming of a ball. Acheson had rescued her from the shame of standing alone and unpartnered. They sailed around the hot ballroom, turning, turning, turning. Couples circled around them, the skirts of the women swishing on the polished floor. The heat and the flickering light from the chandeliers made her dizzy.
Suddenly Acheson was gone, and Montrose was dancing with her. Prim tried to see where Acheson had gone, but she couldn't. Montrose spun her around the room while talking about books. His voice droned on, making her ill. She wanted to stop dancing, but Montrose turned into Harcourt, who whisked her around with renewed energy. They began to spin wildly, careless of the other dancers until they bumped into a couple. The woman turned, revealing a bloodied gown and a knife in her chest. She gave Prim an unblinking stare.
Prim screamed; her partner grasped her arm. It was him, the murderer! The dead woman's partner began to laugh as Prim backed away from the killer and his victim. The laughter grew loud and mean. Suddenly it was Luke Hawthorne, laughing so loud she had to cover her ears. Prim woke wondering if she had really screamed or if the sound she'd heard coming from her mouth had only been in her dream.
