Ten years later
A horsedrawn carriage careened down the road at a full gallop Outside the carriage windows the outskirts of London flashed by Inside the dark cramped cab Alice Kingsleigh fidgeted with her dress She wished she could be out in the sunshine with a book and a kitten instead of stuck here on her way to a dreary boring party with a lot of dreary people
The little girl haunted by her nightmares had grown into a beautiful woman There was something slightly unusual—and unearthly—about her beauty Her large hazel eyes seemed to see things differently from other women her age
Hamish is going to ask for your hand she blurted out
Alice stopped dead She blinked at Fiona and Faith too astonished to speak The two girls beamed and giggled but their smiles fell as a hand landed on each of their shoulders Alice’s older sister Margaret stood behind them looking very displeased
You’ve ruined the surprise she scolded them With a push she sent them off toward the river and pulled Alice aside I could strangle them she whispered tucking her hand through Alice’s arm Everyone went to so much effort to keep the secret
In a daze Alice glanced around at the other partygoers Now she spotted how people kept looking at her then away again quickly Now she noticed how their whispers stopped suddenly as she passed Now she saw the halfhidden smiles of glee on most of the women’s faces the knowing looks on the men She felt a flutter of panic in her chest
Does everyone know she asked
It’s why they’ve all come Margaret said brightly This is your engagement party Hamish will ask you under the gazebo Margaret looked as if she couldn’t imagine anything more thrilling When you say yes—
Alice interrupted her But I don’t know if I want to marry him
Margaret’s face was disbelieving Who then You won’t do better than a lord They both looked over at Hamish who was standing on the outskirts of the party muttering to himself rehearsing his proposal Alice realized As they watched he blew his nose vigorously studied the contents of his handkerchief then folded it and put it back in his pocket Alice shuddered
You’ll soon be twenty Alice Margaret said in a nononsense voice She patted Alice’s pale cheek That pretty face won’t last forever You don’t want to end up like Aunt Imogene She nodded at their middleaged aunt who was cramming small sweet cakes into her mouth Imogene’s cheeks were covered in a thick layer of rouge and her yellowing white dress was in a style much too young for her
Margaret turned Alice around to face her And you don’t want to be a burden on Mother do you
Alice looked down No she said quietly
So you will marry Hamish Margaret said satisfied You will be as happy as I am with Lowell and your life will be perfect It’s already decided Alice felt as if she were suffocating The weight of everyone watching her knowing she had no choice pressed down on her Would this have happened if Father were still alive Surely he would never have made her marry Hamish … but he was gone and there was nothing Alice could do about that She had to marry Hamish
It’s already decided
She was trapped
