She walked to the window, staring out at the unfamiliar garden. This was
supposed to be her home. And now, there was no telling what was going to
happen.
Breathe, Hetty, she told herself, as panic began to rise in her breast, once
again. Just breathe.
But it was becoming increasingly difficult to know how to do that most
basic of functions. Ever since she had awoken this morning to find that her
husband of less than twenty-four hours had abandoned her.
She walked back to the desk, where the hastily scrawled note was still
lying. She had found it this morning when she had awoken. Frank had
insisted last night when they had retired, that they stay in separate rooms.
Just for the night, he had told her, his blue eyes creased with concern. She
was tired after their wedding and would appreciate a good night’s sleep by
herself. She had not argued with him, being nervous about her wedding
night and all that it would entail. She had felt as if she were being given a
reprieve that she had never expected.
She picked up the note, staring down at it, her eyes skimming over it
without taking in a word. He must have stolen into her chambers, either last
night after she was asleep, or early this morning, and left it there. She had
not heard him.
I am supposed to be a newly married woman, she thought, in wonder. The
start of her married life, as Mrs Henrietta Blackmore. A new woman. She
had thought that she was leaving Miss Henrietta Arnold behind, forever.
And now, everything had been turned upside down, and she was reeling.
Focus, she told herself fiercely. Read it again. Perhaps it is not as bad as
you think.
Taking a deep, ragged breath, she focused on the black ink, trying to turn it
into words, rather than meaningless hieroglyphics. Frank’s hand was not
easy to read at the best of times, and this was the worst of them.
My Dear Hetty,
Sorry that I wasn’t able to tell you this in person. I have discovered that I
have changed my mind about being married. I simply cannot do it. I have
grappled with a growing unease about our nuptials for months now but felt
I was in too deep to back out of the arrangements.
