I had just begun to drift off to sleep. Somehow, I had made it through the gala, and Edrick hadn’t pried about the pregnancy. Maybe he didn’t actually realize it after all; maybe it was just my nerves getting to me, and the Edrick I saw that night was only him being his usual abrasive and cold self.

Oh, how wrong I was!

I must not have been asleep for more than ten minutes at the most when I was suddenly startled awake by the sound of my door flinging open.

I sunk back down to sit on the edge of the bed, and when my eyes refocused, I looked up to see Edrick still standing there with fury written across his face. “Why are you doing this?” I asked again.
