The cider made him sleep. It was your fault he did not come back.

Chrystobel’s eyebrows rose as she finished reading the note and looked at her sister. “Did he tell you that?”

Izlyn nodded seriously. Then she rifled through the notes on in her hand before she came to the one she wanted and handed it to her sister. There were other notes on the scrap, crossed out, so it took her a moment to find the most current note.

As Chrystobel struggled with her guilt and her burdens, Izlyn shuffled through the scraps of parchment in her hand and picked one, extending it to her sister. Chrystobel took the torn fragment of parchment and read the note.
