When Sylvia woke up again, someone was standing by the bed, watching her with cold, sharp eyes.
She blinked, heart pounding, as the person's face came into focus. Instinctively, she sat up, tense and wary.
It was Fiona.
But she looked nothing like the polished, graceful Mrs. Fiona Sylvia remembered. Maybe the fall of the Carmichael family had hit her too hard-the streaks of silver in her hair, the heavy shadows under her eyes, that unmistakable air of defeat. She'd always seemed frail, but now she looked downright haunted.
Sylvia slid off the bed and took a cautious step backward. "Mrs. Fiona, what do you want?"
Fiona said nothing. She smoothed her hair, lowering herself elegantly into the chair opposite Sylvia-still carrying herself like the lady of the manor.
Once she settled, she lifted her eyelids and looked Sylvia up and down with unconcealed disdain.
"We were so close, you know," Fiona sneered. "You and Rupert-if things had gone just a little differently, you both would've been ruined for good."
Sylvia froze. Suddenly, it all made sense.
