"You... you really found nothing?"
Uncle Felix's weasely little lawyer looked embarrassed but repeated to her again that he hadn't been able to find any reasonable excuse for her to break the contract.
When Delaney had woken up that morning she'd gone straight to her Uncle as Selina had said. Constance was moving into the card club with her sister and mother so it was a busy day but Felix called for the man anyways.
The lawyer had broken the bad news almost as soon as he'd walked through the door.
Now, Delaney dropped into one of the office chairs feeling defeated. What could she do? This couldn't be the end of her trying.
The lawyer said he definitely recommended not following through with her idea of finding another man to get involved with. He said the King had not been looking kindly on those contract breaks and most of the time both people were ending up in prison.
