Chapter 55

Meg here?It was all she didn't need. But this might be her chance, her only one, to get away.

"You know." Meg slid her gaze across the shining expanse of water, her soft lips curving in that way they always did. "I used to come here too, when I first arrived. Stand and just look at the mountains and the water. The view's very … reflective. In more ways than one."

"Yes. The island. The convent. The water, so beautiful. I couldn't have chosen better."

Kara spoke as if drips of that water so beautiful were in her mouth. Ice-cool and so pleasant. Did Meg think Kara didn't see right through her when she would sooner drown in that same damned water than have it going back to the Wolf she was anything less than delighted with his special choice? Especially when what she had was other plans. Above all else in the world right now, what she needed was to stay calm.

Meg smiled again. In fact Kara might say her cheekbones beamed. Her eyes certainly glittered.
