Back in his room. Matthew knelt before a large wooden chest. Carefully, almost reverently, he lifted out an old children's kite-handmade and fragile, with faded colors.

It had been a gift from his mother when he was just a boy. Since her death, he hadn't touched it, let alone flown it

And yet today... he'd taken it out again. Not for her. But for Sophie.

"She's definitely hiding Sophie, Matthew muttered to himself. "If I want Eliza to release her, I'll have to offer something she

can't refuse."

And if there was anything Eliza still treasured, they all knew what it was.

She had once tried to take Caroline's memorial plaque with her when she left to become a nun. Later, she'd used Dylan to force them into handing over Caroline's dowry.

At this point, there was hardly anything of their mother's left in the Stonor household.

And this kite-this last, precious thing...

Matthew's heart twisted. The thought of handing it over to Eliza made his chest tighten unbearably. But Sophie was still in

her hands

And DOW with Eliza accusing her of grave robbery, if he didn't get her out soon, Sophie's reputation would be completely destroyed

Tm sorry, Mother, Matthew whispered, voice hoarse. “I've failed you... but once I get Sophie back, I'll find a way to redeem this. I swear I'll buy it back.

The decision made, he mounted a horse with the kite wrapped carefully in cloth, and rode hard toward Mount Westin, just outside Hasen City.
