This was officially the last time she allowed Ginny to talk her into anything. Scowling at her reflection in the mirror, Georgiana straightened the tiny felt cat ears she’d been forced to put on when she - quite literally - drew the short stick.

“You’re so lucky!” Lady Tremaine said enviously. A petite blonde with a high-pitched voice and propensity for ending every sentence with an exclamation mark, she’d nearly burst into tears when her stick was long. “I’ve always wanted to be the Poor Pussy!”

“The job is all yours if you want it.”

“Oh no!” Lady Tremaine exclaimed, looking aghast that Georgiana would even dare suggest such a thing. “That would be against the rules!” Sidling closer, she lowered her voice to a conspiratorial whisper. “Besides, my husband is the jealous sort. He wouldn’t like other men...well...you know!”

Yes, Georgiana did know. This wasn’t her first time playing Poor Pussy. The game was harmless enough, if a bit naughty, which was probably why the older guests had retired early for the evening. What wasn’t harmless?

Warwick.

She had no way of knowing if he was playing, but if he was...well, he wasn’t the sort of man who came in second. An involuntary tremble made its way down between her shoulder blades as she imagined his hands on her body. Fingertips tracing the contours of her face before trailing lower, and lower…

“Can someone open a window?” she asked irritably. “It’s bloody hot in here.”

Lady Tremaine’s eyes widened. “You really shouldn’t curse, you know. It’s not becoming of a lady!”

Georgiana’s stare was nothing short of withering. “We’re about to run around the house while blindfolded men pin us in corners and try to guess our identity by using their hands. I think cursing is the least of our ladylike concerns.” Sweeping past Lady Tremaine who - thankfully - had been struck speechless, she stepped out into the hallway to find Ginny walking briskly towards her.

“There you are. I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want-”

“Too late!” Ginny declared breathlessly, blue eyes bright with excitement. “The hunt has begun!”
