THEA STRUGGLED IN the near darkness to tear free of the wedding dress
she’d been forced to wear. The cursed laces of its bodice trussed her as tight
as a chicken ready for roasting. She fumbled with the tangled bow at the
small of her back, then stopped to steady her trembling fingers. Her breaths
blew sharp and fast, and the cloying scent of citrus blossom from her bridal
bouquet threatened to overwhelm her. No time for clumsiness. Tonight was
about speed and execution. Because this plan—her only plan—allowed no
room for failure.
‘It’s never going to work.’
Thea faced the quavering voice. Sheathed in soft cream silk, her best
friend huddled in a shadowy corner. The brim of an oversized hat swooped
across her face.
‘We’ve been over this, Elena. It will.’
It has to.
There were no second chances. Outside, the hungry crowd and her
husband waited. The man now entitled to all of her. Thea shuddered. He
wouldn’t get her mind, her body or her soul. This was her moment to
escape. Tonight she’d break free and show them all.
‘How do I look?’
Elena moved into what dim light shone through a lavishly curtained
window from the dreary alleyway beyond. She smoothed her hands over the
front of the dress, which swirled barely above her knees. Demure. Perfect.
The dress Thea should be changing into now.
‘Like more of a bride than I feel. Nobody will realise.’
Till it was too late. Till she was gone.
Everyone said she and Elena could pass as sisters, or as each other. And
they regularly did—with laughable ease. Allowing Thea a shred of freedom
otherwise denied her.
Now all the years of planning her escape were over.
She walked to her friend and held her in a tight hug. Elena’s body quaked
in the embrace.
‘Thank you. For this. For everything,’ Thea said.
Elena returned the hug, then pushed away, wiping at her eyes. ‘Let’s get
you out of that wedding dress and away from here.’
Thea turned and flinched as Elena’s frantic hands fought the laces which
bound her.
‘Can we put on some lights?’ Elena whispered. ‘I can’t see to do this
quickly.’
‘What if someone walks in? Like this, it’s hard to tell who’s who. Now,
remember what I said?’
Elena laughed. There was nothing cheerful about the sound. ‘Skirt the
edges of the room. Keep the hat brim down. If anyone tries to talk to me
pretend to cry and hide my face in a handkerchief like I’m overwrought by
the sheer joy of this blessed marriage. Easy.’
One final pull and the bodice fell free. But Thea wasn’t quite free yet.
Her friend started on the laces of the corset.
