Slowly, Abigail opened her eyes. The spinning of the room subsided and she sat up carefully on the sofa. What had happened? Her father stood by the desk, looking upset. Why—reality doused her as though she’d fallen into the Firth of Forth. Shane was gone. Her breath caught and she gripped the sofa arm, hoping she wouldn’t swoon again. She had never fainted in her life. Shane was gone. He had only stopped by the townhouse to sign the annulment. What would he have done if he’d run into her? Maybe Jamie had told him she would be gone this morning. Mari had told her husband they were going calling—albeit she didn’t say where. Shane could very well have felt it was a convenient time to get the nasty business of their marriage taken care of—and then sailed as soon as he could. He hadn’t cared enough to even say goodbye? Abigal blinked back the sting of tears. Maybe…maybe he had meant to say goodbye the morning he’d left Edinburgh when he’d returned to the townhouse. Maybe…maybe he had planned all along to end their marriage on this trip to London, only getting arrested had gotten in the way.
