Abigail Jones (Chronicles Of Abigail Jones #1) - Plot & Excerpts
I had not slept well. During the night, I had been visited by amorphous dreams that even the necklace could not chase away. I knew why: these were not demons that haunted me, but my own, all-too-human fears. Looking down at the list I was making, I saw the swerving, blotted loops of my usually neat handwriting.The passionate interlude of yesterday had left me shaken. Hux's entreaty reverberated in my head. Let me in your guarded heart. Clearly, he suspected I was hiding something from him. With the three weeks expired and the future looming, I knew I could no longer run. After he returned from his ride this morning, I would simply have to march into the study and confess everything. All I could do was pray for the best. There was a ripping sound as my nib sliced through the parchment.A while later, I heard noises in the adjoining room and knew I could prevaricate no longer. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door before courage deserted me. Hux was standing by the window. He had his hands clasped behind his back, his posture one of intense contemplation.
