Chapter Six

If that was what kissing a man was like, May wanted it often. Her hands trembled slightly as she touched her bottom lip, trying to recall every sensation so she wouldn't forget later. Though, she slowed her pace as she strode toward her room, it would do her well to remember it was possible he was just as much an enemy as Hob. Something was amiss with the man claiming to be Montague, yet the pull to him was real.

May unlocked the door to her room and quickly clicked the lock back in place once she was inside. Her heart didn't want to know if Montague was a fraud. It was ready to fight to stay with him. But her logical, analytical mind simply couldn't.

She strode across the room to her trunk and slowly opened it. In the top drawer of the side compartment were the letters Montague had written. They may have been from a man who seemed to have a cold heart, but that's all she had. The note from the man Hob kept calling Cade, lay on her dressing table. She brought the bundle of letters over and sat down.

It wasn't wrong to want to know the truth. Montague could be in danger. Hadn't Hob been threatening from the very first? Yes, but Cade hadn't. Was it just that Hob was confused, and she was chasing after ghosts? Did she want to be married so badly she couldn't let Montague’s disinterest rest, even going so far as to accuse him of treachery?

The letters sat in their little bundle, but she already knew what they said. She'd read them so many times, always searching for, hoping for, the warmth she hoped would eventually come.

She would lose Montague no matter what. It made no sense why he'd finally asked her to meet, when his letters to her had never really become personal, friendly, or inviting.

She pulled the first letter from its envelope and opened it. The flowing, swirling penmanship was of a man who had plenty of time. How had that fact escaped her until just then? He'd claimed to be so busy that he couldn't make it to the post, but his short letters were well-crafted by a practiced hand, the calligraphy exact.

The note from the man she kissed lay on the desk, but she didn't have to put them next to each other to see the difference. The note was in quick, sure strokes. No frivolous slant of the pen or wasted mark. Whereas the letters, though short, were covered in ink. Montague was a thinker, took his time, and asked people to do his bidding in all things...

Including meeting her.

First, hot anger tore through her, then hurt. Montague, the one at the hotel, was a fraud. He'd kissed her knowing he was a fake, and she'd kissed him. Montague's lie had put her in a place where she'd been forced to trust a stranger. Her heart raced as she stared down at the letters.

"If it were the real Montague here, instead of Cade, I would be on my way home already.
