Katherine was unable to sleep for the past two nights, her mind occupied with Daisy's upcoming marriage. She couldn't reconcile with it, her nerves burning and wanting to unleash all her anger on the foolish girl, but she couldn't. Daisy was marrying the Marquess, and Katherine could no longer treat her any way she liked. It infuriated her.
Thomas, as always, slept with his back to her, and even in the day following, as she dressed up and tried to appeal to him, he turned his back to her once again. She had not missed the way he had looked at Helena while they were in Lord Blackthorne's mansion. When Helena came dressed in one of those beautiful dresses given to her by the Marquess, Thomas had watched her with interest.
Katherine clenched her jaw, feeling tears of frustration threaten her eyes. She turned her back to him as well and tried to sleep when she suddenly heard him move.
