Since returning to London, Thalia had been swept up in a whirlwind of social activities with Victoria

Darwin and Charlotte–shopping, dining, catching up on lost time.

Her plans to apply to Sinclair & Klein were temporarily set aside.

Today, the girls were sharing afternoon tea at their favorite patisserie.

Charlotte, who’d been out clubbing until the early hours, looked rather worse for wear.

“I’m tired of shopping and clubs,” she groaned, then perked up. “It’s such a lovely day–why don’t we go riding at the Darwin estate?”

The Darwin family owned one of England’s most prestigious equestrian centers, where all three had

taken riding lessons in their youth.

“Sobered up enough?” Thalia teased. “Wouldn’t want you charged with drunk riding.”

“Completely sober,” Charlotte grinned wickedly. “Though I did vomit all over Sebastian Darwin last night.

His face went absolutely green.”

Victoria smiled serenely. “Did my brother not mind?”

“Actually, he was rather sweet about it. After cleaning up, he even made me his special hangover

remedy.”

Sebastian and Charlotte were step–siblings. Sebastian’s mother had passed when he was young, and Charlotte’s parents had divorced when she was seven.

Sebastian’s father had then married Charlotte’s mother, bringing the families together.

Charlotte was nine when she first met fourteen–year–old Sebastian. He was going through his rebellious phase and resented both his stepmother and new sister.

Their first meeting ended with him pulling her pigtails and telling her to get lost.

Charlotte, never one to be bullied, had bitten his wrist so hard it left a scar he still bore.

Thalia stirred her tea, amused. “You must be his karmic punishment.”
