Chapter 12: What He Paid

The key clicked in the lock, and Verity put it in the pocket of her cream cardigan.

"Sit down, Linnea," she said. "You look unwell."

"I'll stand."

"As you like."

She crossed to the desk and sat on its edge with one ankle over the other.

The voice she used now was the same, soft and lilting.

Everything behind it was different.

It was the first time in three months that I had seen her face with nothing arranged on it.

"You came here to show off an empty cup in front of my aunts," she said. "That was very brave. It was also stupid. They're old, and they'll talk about it for a week, and then my father will talk to them, and they'll stop."

"They smelled it."

"They smelled what they were told to smell, for forty years." She tilted her head. "But you weren't brave for no reason. You walked into my father's house with one friend and a hand on your stomach. Bram told you."

I kept my face still.

I had spent three years of mornings in the pack kitchens, learning to keep my face still while women said things about me.

"Bram told me everything," I said.

"Did he."

"Last night."

Verity looked at me for a long moment.

Then a smile came onto her face, and it was the first real one I had ever seen on it.

"Oh, he did not," she said. "You're bluffing. How sweet."
