“Play this game well, Lady Sophie, and we’ll be rid of each other before you even realize we were together.” Except she had realized it. She’d realized it the day prior, when they’d raced from the Warbling Wren, and the night prior, when he’d kissed her until she thought she’d go mad from the pleasure. And this morning, when he’d hurt her so thoroughly, and without thought. They were together, and somehow, she adored and loathed it all at the same time.
