Damien's mind was still buzzing from the possibility that the rider was Katherine. Earlier at the party, he had only caught a glimpse of her side profile and when he started going after her, she seemed to have sensed it because she quickened her pace without even looking back.
Everything happened so fast that he didn't even realize people were looking at him when he sprinted across the room and disappeared into the kitchen.
If only he ran faster… If only he caught up to her. Would she even talk to him? That is if it really was her. There was no other explanation as to why that woman was hastily leaving. And if it was Katherine, what was she doing at the party? Did she come to see him? That wouldn't be right. Because if she did, why would she run away?
His thoughts were interrupted when William harshly patted his arm to get his attention. "Hey! Talk to me. I need you to tell me the truth."
