“My lord, what on earth happened to your face?” Paul was the first to inquire about the red, hand-shaped mark on Edgar’s cheek when he visited the earl’s study. Tompkins, Lewis, and Jack had all had an inkling as to its origin and possessed the good grace not to call attention to it. Paul, however, was a little less discerning about such things.

“I was subject to a passionate display of affection.”

“My lord?”

“Never had I thought she would strike me quite so hard.” He had been so endeared to her that he hadn’t wanted to let go and had only meant to gently tease her. “I made an error of judgment. I ought not to have asked her to hit me.”

“Was that not obvious at the time?”

“Firman, might I suggest that you also allow your beloved to strike you? Far from turning you off her, it will stoke the flames of desire. It was like tightening a noose around my own neck, all while being unable to lay a real finger on her.” Edgar smiled at his openly exasperated friend and rose from his chair. “Anyway, do you have any new information for me?” he asked expectantly.

Paul seemed to remember his business amid his bewilderment and quickly stood up straight. “Ah, yes, I do. We have located Mr. Caan’s widow.”

“Oh yes? Where is she?”

“I have brought her with me. She was concerned that the demon would come for her next, so I managed to convince her that your lordship would protect her.”

“Meaning that the demon killed her husband, yes?”

“That is what she seems to believe.”

It appeared that the Nightmare had indeed played a role in the London Bridge murders. There was no doubt that Mr. and Mrs. Caan were in possession of key information.

“I shall have Lydia accompany me.”

He could already sense that the discussion would turn to the topics of runes and goddesses.
